- Abstract
Background- Plantar fasciitis (PF) is a degenerative syndrome of plantar fascia resulting from repeated trauma at its origin on the calcaneus. The purpose of the present study was to compare the effect of kinesiotaping and plantar fascia stretching exercise in plantar fasciitis (PF). Method- An experimental study, total sample size was 30 (Group A-15, Group B-15). For group A kinesiotaping and for group B plantar stretching exercises was given. To find out the desire result neumeric pain rating scale(NPRS) and foot functional index(FFI) was assessed. Result- The analysis using independent t-test. The main finding of the present study was that the t-value for pre and post NPRS and FFI was .174, 4.461 and 1.369, 2.256 respectively. Conclusion- From the result we concluded that the kinesiotaping was more effecting to reducing the pain in plantar fasciitis.
