Interventions

OTHER

Phonophoresis group

1. Patients will receive Phonophoresis with topical glyceryl trinitrate gel. Using pulsed ultrasound (2:1) with the frequency of 0.8 MHz and intensity of 1.5 W/CM for 10 minutes was dynamically administered for the patients in 10 every other day sessions. 2. Therapeutic exercises * Tibialis anterior strengthening (four sets of ten repetitions, with weights of 3 to 5 kg) * Plantar fascia stretching the patient was comfortably sitting on chair with tennis ball under his foot. Then he rolls the ball by moving his foot in forward and backward direction. * Stretching of the gastrocnemius and gastro soleus muscles by standing (standing calf stretch exercise, standing soleus muscle stretch exercise), the Achilles tendon by sitting (towel stretch exercise) , and the plantar fascia on a step (plantar fascia stretch exercise) . Patients were asked to do the exercises for four weeks, 10 times each morning and evening by counting up to 30

OTHER
