Intrinsic Foot Muscle Training With and Without Hip Abductor Muscle Strengthening in Pronation Distortion Syndrome

Pronation distortion syndrome is one of the most common abnormalities in the lower extremity that causes alterations in the structures of the skeletal parts of the foot. The aim of the study will be to compare the effects of intrinsic foot muscle with and without hip abductor muscle strengthening on pain and functional mobility in patients with Pronation Distortion Syndrome.

About this study

A Randomized Clinical Trial will be conducted at Nawaz Sharif Social Security Hospital, Multan Road, Lahore through convenience sampling technique on 54 patients which will be allocated using simple random sampling through computer generated method into Group A and Group B. Group A will be treated with intrinsic foot muscle training at the frequency of 4 sets with 15 repetitions and Group B will be treated with hip abductor muscle strengthening at the frequency of 3 sets with 15 repetitions; session would be conducted thrice a week. Outcome measures will be conducted through numeric pain scale and lower extremity functional scale after 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed during SPSS software version 25. After assessing normality of data by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.

Treatment and study plan

Intrinsic foot muscle training

Other

The duration of intervention will be 6 weeks, 3 sessions a week, a total of 18 sessions will be given to the study participants. Each session will last for 30 minutes. Conventional physical therapy will be given to participants along with intrinsic foot muscle training

Hip abductor muscle training

Other

The duration of intervention will be 6 weeks, 3 sessions a week, a total of 18 sessions will be given to the study participants. Each session will last for 30 minutes. Conventional physical therapy will be given to participants along with hip abductor muscle training

Primary outcomes

  1. NPRS

    Time frame: 6th week

    Changes from base Line Numeric Pain rating scale is a scale for pain starting from 0-10. where 0 indicate no pain and 10 indicate severe pain Changes from base Line Numeric Pain rating scale is a scale for pain starting from 0-10. where 0 indicate no pain and 10 indicate severe pain The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical Changes from base Line Numeric Pain rating scale is a scale for pain starting from 0-10. where 0 indicate no pain and 10 indicate severe pain Changes from base Line Numeric Pain rating scale is a scale for pain starting from 0-10. where 0 indicate no pain and 10 indicate severe pain The Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) is a subjective measure in which individuals rate their pain on an eleven-point numerical scale. The scale is composed of 0 (no pain at all) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).

  2. Navicular drop test

    Time frame: 1st day

    Used as an indicator of foot. Height of the navicular tuberosity from the ground is measured with the subject being non-weight bearing and then weight bearing, height of the navicular tuberosity is measured. The difference is determined. A difference of 10 > mm will be considered as flexible flatfoot. ND test has proven valid and reliable for the assessment of the medial arch

  3. Lower extremity functional scale

    Time frame: 6th week

    The Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS) is a questionnaire containing 20 questions about a person's ability to perform everyday tasks. The LEFS can be used by clinicians as a measure of patients' initial function, ongoing progress and outcome, as well as to set functional goals. It will be used to monitor the patient over time and to evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions.

  4. Universal goniometer

    Time frame: 6th week

    Universal goniometer is a tool that measures an angle or permits the rotation of an object to a definite position. It- has three parts: body, fulcrum and arms (stationary and moving)
