Brief Summary:
The significance of studying the effects of navicular mobilization in patients suffering from plantar fasciitis lies in its potential to provide valuable insights into non-invasive treatment approaches for a common and debilitating foot condition such as flat foot Understanding how this therapy impacts navicular height pain and disability of the foot can lead to improved clinical outcomes and a better understanding of the biomechanical factors contributing to plantar fasciitis Ultimately this research may help refine treatment strategies and enhance the quality of life for individuals suffering from this condition
Detailed Description:
The foot is a complex structure comprising numerous bones muscles and ligaments that work together to provide support and facilitate movement It is supported by three arches the medial longitudinal arch the lateral longitudinal arch and the transverse arch The medial longitudinal arch plays a crucial role in absorbing weight but issues like ligament laxity and muscle weakness can cause it to shorten leading to conditions like plantar fasciitis Plantar fasciitis a common overuse injury occurs when the plantar fascia a fibrous tissue that supports the arch of the foot becomes inflamed due to repetitive strain especially during activities that increase its stretch such as barefoot walking or stair climbing People with flat feet are more susceptible to plantar fasciitis due to the overstretching of the plantar fascia caused by the lack of arch support
Navicular drop a measure of the navicular bone height also plays a significant role in foot biomechanics and the development of plantar fasciitis High navicular height leads to increased foot pronation and tension on the plantar fascia while low navicular height causes overpronation and arch collapse both of which can result in inflammation of the plantar fascia Physiotherapists use techniques like navicular mobilization to address issues related to the navicular bone and improve blood circulation healing and pain relief in cases of plantar fasciitis By understanding the biomechanics of the foot and employing targeted interventions healthcare professionals can help manage and prevent conditions like plantar fasciitis allowing individuals to maintain optimal foot health and functionality
