Details and patient eligibility

About

Objective of this study was to compare the treatment effectiveness of MET and triggers point release in PF. A single blinded, randomized clinical design was conducted. Thirty patients was randomly allocated into two groups. One group received muscle energy technique and the other receive trigger point release, while both groups performed self-stretching exercises as a home plan. Their pain and foot function serve as outcome measure. Treatment was given for 4 weeks, 3 sessions per week.
