Ankle Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Technique Versus Foot Core Exercise in Patients With Plantar Fascitis
Sponsor: Superior University
Summary
Plantar fasciitis is a common cause of heel pain due to overuse or repetitive stress on the plantar fascia. Risk factors include abnormal foot structure, obesity, and poor footwear. Physiotherapy interventions like foot core exercises and ankle proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) are gaining attention for improving pain and foot function.

Ankle proprioceptive neuromuscualar facilitation technique
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) is a therapeutic technique that uses sensory input to enhance muscle function and improve flexibility. For the ankle, PNF techniques can be used to increase range of motion, improve balance and stability, and reduce pain associated with ankle injuries.
Foot core exercises along with conventional physiotherapy
This Group will be given foot core exercises which includes heel raise, toe curls, foot doming, toe spreading, balancing board, and tennis ball roll under foot along with conventional therapy which includes ultrasound, plantar fascia stretching and Achilles stretching.
