Abstract
BACKGROUND: Achilles tendinitis is one of the common problems in the soccer players, as they are required to use fine techniques of the game with their feet. Achilles tendon plays major role in outdoor sports activities because of its dual association with the two prime plantar flexors, Gastrocnemius and the Soleus muscles. It most commonly occurs in runners who have suddenly increased the intensity or duration of their runs and who play sports, such as tennis, soccer, basketball etc., and this condition also causes lots of physical and psychosomatic stresses. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY: 1. To find out the effect of Myofascial Trigger Point Manual Pressure Release and Cryotherapy in the management of pain and foot function on Achilles Tendinitis for Soccer players. 2. To find the effect of Ultrasound Therapy and Tendo-Achilles Stretching in the management of pain and foot function on Achilles Tendinitis for Soccer players. 3. To compare the effect of Myofascial Pressure Release on Trigger point and Cryotherapy with Ultrasoound Therapy and Tendo-Achilles Stretching in the management of pain and foot function on Achilles Tendinitis for Soccer players. METHODOLOGY: A comparative study with pre and post test evaluation of 20 subjects aged 18 to 23 were divided into two groups as experimental therapy (myofascial trigger point manual pressure release with cryotherapy) and conventional therapy (ultrasound therapy with stretching) by using convenient sampling method, samples satisfying inclusion criteria. RESULT: Results of the present study shows that there is significant difference in pain and foot function following myofascial trigger point manual pressure release therapy with cryotherapy and ultrasound therapy with stretching among Achilles Tendinitis Subjects. CONCLUSION: The statistical result shows that there is improvement in both the groups. But when comparing both its found that myofascial trigger point manual pressure release technique with cryotherapy is more effective than ultrasound therapy and stretching in reducing pain and improving foot function among Achilles Tendinitis for Soccer Players.
