Question: Is the Muscle Energy Technique being effective in pain and lower limb functional activity in subjects having planter fasciitis? Design: Randomized control trial. Participants: 30 subjects with the clinical diagnosis of chronic plantar fasciitis were randomly allocated by coin method into two study groups. Intervention: Group A (control) 15 patients was given therapeutic ultrasound, foot intrinsic muscles strengthening exercises, plantar fascia stretching exercises and Group B(experimental) 15 patients was given conventional treatment as group an added MET for 10 consecutive days. Outcome measures: VAS, FAAM & Pressure algometry. Results: comparison of score obtained by outcome measurers between the experimental and control group shows significant result (p value < 0.001). The mean value shows that experimental group is more significant than the control group. Conclusion: experimental group showed better improvement in pain relief and increase in functional activity level. It can be said that MET if incorporated into the conventional treatment provide a better outcome than conventional.
