IRCT20230731058990N3 IRCT 2024-02-01 UOL, Lahore Myofascial release and ergon technique effects in plantar fasciitis for foot function and balance Effects of myofascial release and ergon technique on foot function and balance in plantar fasciitis 2023-10-04 anticipated 26 Complete https://irct.ir/trial/74900 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Treatment, Other design features: Heel pain, Windlass test, Berg Balance Scale, Foot Function Index, Randomization description: Participants were randomized using gold fish bowl method into two groups, control and experimental. Treatment allocation were done by using concealed envelope method. In this, sealed opaque envelops with treatment regimen written were provided to the participants. Once a patient had consented to enter a trial room, an envelope was opened, and the patient was then offered the allocated treatment, Blinding description: The study was single blinded. The participants did not know while they were receiving experimental or routine physical therapy treatment. and yes, intervention is similar enough for blinding participants. 3 Plantar fasciitis. Intervention 1: Group A received routine physical therapy included ultrasound. Ultrasound will be used for 10 minutes (Frequency 3MHz) in each session. Total duration for each session with intervention will be 25-30 minutes. After baseline treatment, myofascial release technique was given according to the anatomy trains concept on the superficial back line of lower limb. The subjects are taken in supine position with Lower Limb extended and foot in Dorsiflexion. Myofascial release technique was given on the plantar surface. The technique was performed in three strokes directly over the patient’s skin by sliding the hand throughout the Dorsiflexion with constant pressure in the caudo-cranial direction. Intervention 2: Group B received routine physical therapy included ultrasound. Ultrasound will be used for 10 minutes (Frequency 3MHz) in each session. Total duration for each session with intervention will be 25-30 minutes. After baseline treatment, Ergon technique has several different options for tools as well as treatment techniques. Now we use Graston tool while patient in prone position scan the tissue and point of fibrosis or any sort of restriction in gastrocnemius. Use the tool all the way down in sweeping motions feelings for restrictions from proximal to distal and from up to down at the junction of Achilles. Now ask the patient to do dorsiflexion while scooping Achilles tendon from insertion to origin. Yes - There is a plan to make this available What will be shared: Demographic data and data related to final outcome will be shared by maintaining the confidentiality. When: Data will be available from April 2024 to June 2024 after the 6 months of publication. The data sharing plan for a clinical trial (i.e., what data will be shared when and under what conditions) will be publicly available at a third-party site that shares data with and meets the data requirements of WHO's International Clinical Trials Registry Platform; this occur before the first participant is enrolled. To whom: Dr. Sania Naz (corresponding author) professor at UOL, Lahore. Conditions: for research purpose Where to obtain: To the corresponding author of the study, Dr Sania Naz and can contact on +923044407035 saaniaanaz@gmail.com can visit these search engines, you can find my study easily here https://www.researchgate.net/ https://scholar.google.com/ How to obtain: Open-access and there is the traditional public data release where anyone can get access to the data with no registration or conditions. The request will be reviewed by Director in Charge and in case of eligibility, it would be shared in two weeks Comments: I want randomized clinical trial registration.
