Comparative Effectiveness of Different Neural Mobilization Techniques in Plantar Fasciitis

BThis study will be designed to compare between the effect of adding posterior tibial nerve or saphenous nerve mobilization to the traditional physical therapy on pain intensity, foot function, pressure pain threshold, ankle dorsiflexion ROM and central sensitization in patients with PF.

About this study

: Sixty patients with PF will be included in this study: Patients will be randomly assigned into three groups. Patients in group A will receive traditional physical therapy plus posterior tibial nerve mobilization while group B will receive the same traditional physical therapy and saphenous nerve mobilization, and group C will receive only traditional physical therapy. Three sessions will be held for six weeks. Patients will be evaluated for pain intensity, pressure pain threshold (PPT), foot function, ankle dorsiflexion ROM and central sensitization

Primary outcomes

  1. pressure pain threshold

    Time frame: pre and after six weeks

    the lowest pressure at which pain is felt, was measured using a pressure algometer

  2. central sensitization

    Time frame: Pre and after six weeks

    measuring CSI by the arabic version of CSI

Secondary outcomes

  1. ankle ROM

    Time frame: Pre and after six weeks

    measuring ROM BY GONIOMETR
