Background: Plantar fasciitis (PF) is characterized by inflammation, fibrosis and structural deterioration of foot and there is pain over heel and plantar fascia. Plantar fasciitis pain is gradual in onset, sharp and diffusely located initially which later localizes to medial calcaneal tuberosity. Typically, pain is most severe in the morning which lessens with movement but intensifies with long-standing weight bearing. Plantar fasciitis has been experienced by 10% of the non-athletic population and most typically observed in weight-bearing activities. So, the aim was to study the effects of primal reflex release technique and positional release therapy on pain, functional ability and ankle range in patients with plantar fasciitis. Method: Total 36 patients were recruited for the study as per the selection criteria and were divided into two groups (18 in each group). Group A was treated with primal reflex release technique (PRRT) along with conventional therapy and Group B was treated with positional release therapy (PRT) along with conventional therapy for 7 consecutive days. Intergroup analysis by independent t-test showed statistically significant improvement in pain and functional ability (P value ≤ 0.001). Conclusion: Primal reflex release technique along with conventional therapy was found to be more predominant in improving pain and functional ability than positional release therapy along with conventional therapy. Also, Primal reflex release technique along with conventional therapy and positional release therapy along with conventional therapy were equally effective in improving ankle range of motion.

Background: The foot is the most distal segment in the lower extremity chain and represents a smallBOS upon which the body maintains balance. Minor biomechanical alterations in the support surfacecan influence postural-control strategies. However, the implications of a flat foot on balance havereceived little attention to date.Aimof the present study was to Evaluate the static and dynamic balancein individuals with flat feet.Method: A total of 40 subjects were recruited. Participants were assigned to 2 groups case groupand control group depending on foot type, as defined by the foot ink print method. Subjects weredivided into case groups and control groups. The static and dynamic balance were measured throughthe Unipedal stance test and star excursion balance test respectively.There was a significant correlation between single-leg stance time (with eyes opened and closed) andflat feet (p-value = < .01). There was a significant correlation between reach distance in some direction(AM, MR, PM, P, AL, LL) with a flat foot (p-value <0 .05).Conclusion: This study suggests that both static (single leg stance test) and dynamic (SEBT) balanceare affected in individuals with flat feet.
