Fatima Mazhar, Muhammad Salman Bashir, Rabiya Noor, Tooba Arif, Rimsha Tariq, Aqsa Minahil. Abstract | | | | Objective: To determine the effects of mobilization with movement and Maitland grade III mobilization on pain and physical function in plantar fasciitis.
Methodology: This randomized clinical trial used convenient sampling. The sample size was 16. Patients were assigned randomly in group A and group B by computer-generated random number table. The group A was treated with mobilization with movement, gastrocnemius stretching, stretching of plantar fascia and ultrasound therapy. The group B was treated with Maitland grade III mobilization, gastrocnemius stretching, stretching of plantar fascia and ultrasound therapy. The treatment was given for a total of 4 weeks two sessions each week. NPRS and FAAM were used for measuring pain and physical function. The outcome measure was recorded at baseline and after 4 weeks.
Results: The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (p>0.05). The difference within a group was statistically significant and shown an improvement (p
Key words: Fasciitis, plantar, sitting position, pain.
