It negatively impacts gait, mobility, and overall quality of life. Physiotherapy interventions such as stretching, strengthening, electrotherapy, and taping techniques are commonly used for management. Among these, Low-Dye taping and calcaneal taping provide biomechanical support by reducing strain on the plantar fascia and improving foot posture; however, comparative evidence between the two is limited.\n\nThis study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Low-Dye taping versus calcaneal taping in reducing pain and improving foot function in patients with plantar fasciitis. A total of 36 participants will be randomly assigned to either intervention group and treated over a two-week period. Outcome measures will include pain (VAS), functional ability (FFI), ankle range of motion (goniometer), and gait analysis, assessed before and after intervention.

Study participants will be divided into four intervention groups: the first will receive two sessions per week for a period of six months, while the second will receive three sessions per week for the same period. The treatment protocol will consist of therapeutic physical exercise focused on the foot muscles and stretching the plantar fascia and posterior chain, hyperthermia on the plantar fascia insertion area in the calcaneus and adjacent areas, and the use of an orthotic insole used for walking. The third and fourth intervention groups will receive the same treatment as mentioned above, but without hyperthermia. The third group will receive three sessions per week, while the second group will receive two sessions per week. Two different types of measurement variables will be used: objective variables will be used to measure local pain using an algometer, assess ankle joint range of motion, and use ultrasound imaging techniques. Subjective variables will also be used through validated questionnaires, which will address physical activity, perceived functional limitations in patients with lower limb pathologies, lower limb functional assessment, and a visual analogue scale for pain perception.",[26,53],"Hyperthermia","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-08-01",{"date":57,"type":31},"2025-08-05",{"date":55,"type":20},{"date":60,"type":20},"2027-03-31",{"name":62,"class":38},"University of Malaga",{"id":64,"slug":65,"hasResults":11,"nctId":66,"briefTitle":67,"officialTitle":68,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":69,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":15,"minAge":70,"maxAge":71,"enrollmentInfo":72,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":21,"phases":74,"briefSummary":75,"conditions":76,"keywords":77,"overallStatus":27,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":82,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":83,"startDateStruct":85,"completionDateStruct":87,"leadSponsor":89,"locationsCount":39},"100569716","effect-of-radial-shockwave-therapy-and-graston-instrument-assisted-soft-tissue-mobilization-on-plantar-fasciitis-100569716","NCT06697860","Effect of Radial Shockwave Therapy and Graston Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization on Plantar Fasciitis","Comparative Effect of Radial Shockwave Therapy and Graston Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization on Plantar Fasciitis","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Both genders (male\u002Ffemale) Age 20 to 45 (25) unilateral chronic plantar fasciitis of more than 3 months Pre diagnosed with chronic plantar fasciitis soreness and local tenderness bottom of the heel.
