Background- Ankle joint and foot pain now a days comprises of around 70 percent injuries. Ankle sprain, planter fasciitis, calcaneal spur comprises of the majority of cases now a days.2 A high body manipulation low amplitude thrust manipulation is a good evidence based treatment for majority of upper limb conditions.2 ,4 However in case of lower limb foot conditions, the research is very less. However a recent few papers shows that Tarsal Twist manipulation can be a significant help in different foot conditions. 1
The purpose of this case study was to see if tarsal twist could really help in improving foot conditions pain.
Case study- A 33 year old housewife was suffering from planter fasciitis and was undergoing physiotherapy. 3,5 The patient was having planter fascia pain and decreased range of motion. The pain was more during sudden standing and walking and would get better on walking though not completely subsided. 3,5,6 The rehabilitation programme consists of the standard protocol of R.I.C.E, stretching, intrinsic muscle strengthening with a introduction of Tarsal twist manipulation.5,6
Outcome measures- The patient showed much improvement pre and post test in the visual analog scale and foot function index scale. Outcome emasures showed good improvement post treatment. 3,5,6
Discussion- A meaningful change in outcome measure and other limitations suggested that tarsal twist manipulation was significant in improving planter fasciitis.
