Background: The current economic situation creates unique problems for healthcare professionals, particularly in underdeveloped countries. Due to lifestyle and survival challenges, both urban and rural communities are unable to devote adequate time to follow-up. This difficulty is significantly more apparent in the field of physiotherapy, as many of the treatments require follow-up. The cost of follow-up care experienced by patients includes incidental expenditures such as lost pay, travel, and productivity, among others. The distance travelled for follow-up physiotherapy is also a considerable concern, particularly for patients who live in rural areas. As a result, many patients may choose to discontinue treatment. Management of plantar fasciitis (PF) needs numerous sessions of intervention and so falls into the problems.
AIM: The aim of the study was to see the effect of Calcaneumtaping and stretching exercise in short term effect of plantar fasciitis among home makers.
Method: A total of 20 homemakers were selected for the study from various home in Puducherry. Whose age range between 30-60 years. They were participated according to the selection criteria. They were allocated into two groups using odd and even method. Group A (n=10) experimental group. Group B (n=10) control group (Conventional exercise). The training was given 3 days a week for 4weeks. After 4 weeks of training
Result: The findings indicated that p value of stretching in foot function index is less than 0.0009 which shows 99.9% of significance and the taping p value is less than 0.001 which shows 98% of significance. Hence stretching is more effective in reducing the pain in plantar fasciitis patients and improve the foot function index after taping.
Conclusion: This study concluded that there was significant improvement in stretching exercise than the calcaneal taping
