The mean age was 31.93 years. This subjects were allocated by lottery method into two groups (Group A - therapeutic ultrasound (US), exercises, and Mulligan’s calcaneal taping and Group B - therapeutic US, exercises, and Kinesio taping). Before and after the treatment protocol, the subjects were assessed for pain by visual analog scale (VAS) and foot function by revised-foot function index (FFI-R) questionnaire.</p><p><strong>Result: </strong>Pre- and post-treatment protocol was analyzed using paired and unpaired t-test. Intragroup analysis of VAS revealed statistically reduction in VAS post-intervention for both groups. This was performed using paired t-test Group A (p&lt;0.0001) and Group B (p&lt;0.0001). Intragroup analysis of total (FFI-R) revealed statistically reduction in FFI-R score post-intervention for both groups. This was done using paired t-test Group A (p&lt;0.0001) and Group B (p&lt;0.0001).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Mulligan’s calcaneal taping was more effective than kinesiotaping in reducing VAS and FFI-R score in subject with plantar fasciitis.</p> ER -
