Effectiveness of Kinetic Chain Release on Pain and Function Among Individuals With Plantar Fasciitis: an Experimental Pilot Study
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Aim: The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of kinetic chain release on pain and function among individuals with plantar fasciitis.Background: Heel pain is a common presenting complaint in the foot and ankle practice, and plantar fasciitis (PF) is the most common cause of chronic pain beneath the heel in adults, making up 11-15% of the foot symptoms requiring professional care among adults.It is estimated that 1 in 10 people will develop PF during their lifetime.Methodology: 20 Subjects with plantar fasciitis participated in the experiment study underwent treatment duration for 2 weeks after giving their informed consent.they were evaluated and randomize into experimental group receiving posterior kinetic chain release and soft tissue mobilisation, stretching along with ultra-sound therapy and basic ankle exercise.The pre and post values of vas and FADI score were recorded at start of the treatment and consequently after the end of treatment.
