Effect of Subtalar Joint Mobilization and Myofascial Trigger Point Release on Pain and Disability in Plantar Fasciitis
Background Plantar fasciitis a degenerative condition marked by collagen degeneration in the plantar fascia affects over 50 of individuals across genders. It often results from overuse trauma or repetitive strain leading to micro-tears. Risk factors include limited dorsiflexion...

Background Plantar fasciitis a degenerative condition marked by collagen degeneration in the plantar fascia affects over 50 of individuals across genders. It often results from overuse trauma or repetitive strain leading to micro-tears. Risk factors include limited dorsiflexion excessive plantar flexion foot pronation prolonged weight-bearing high body mass index subcalcaneal spurs and subtalar joint dysfunction. The fascias role in stabilizing body structures is vital for addressing this condition. Myofascial Trigger Point Release MTrP has recently shown promise in reducing pain and improving function.Aim and Objectives This study evaluates the impact of subtalar joint mobilization and MTrP alongside conventional therapy on pain and disability in plantar fasciitis patients and compares their effectiveness.Methods After IEC approval from RV College of Physiotherapy participants were screened using the windlass test and divided into two groups. Group A received subtalar joint mobilization with conventional therapy while Group B received MTrP with traditional treatment. Interventions were administered thrice weekly for four weeks with VAS and FADI scores recorded pre and post-intervention.Results Sixty-four n 64 Participants 18-45 years were analyzed using R software. Both groups showed significant reductions in VAS Group A 7.00 to 4.53 Group B 7.06 to 3.59 and improvements in FADI Group A 73.16 to 61.78 Group B 76.28 to 57.84. Group B demonstrated more significant pain and disability reduction P lt 0.0001.Conclusion MTrP combined with conventional therapy is more effective than subtalar joint mobilization warranting further research to explore long-term benefits in plantar fasciitis management. |
