Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Basic Science Summary: Background : Planter fasciitis is the most common cause of pain in the inferior heel , it is estimated to account for 11 to 15 % of all foot symptoms requiring professional care among adults .Purpose: To investigate the effect of low level laser versus ultrasound on Myofascial Trigger points of planter fasciitis. Subjects and Methods : 45 patients with Myofascial Trigger points of planter fasciitis of both sexes with age ranged from (30 to 45) years old selected from outpatient clinics of Kasr Al Ainy hospital and Faculty of physical therapy, Cairo University were participated in the present study. Patients They are arranged randomly into 3 equal groups; Group (A): received ultrasound on trigger points of planter fasciitis with therapeutic exercises, with (15) patients were included in this group. Their mean ± SD of age, weight, height, and BMI were (33.6 ± 2.64) years, (91.06 ± 5.11) kg, (167.4 ± 5.53) cm, and (32.5 ± 1.25) kg/m² Group (B): received low level laser on trigger points of planter fasciitis with therapeutic exercises with (15) patients were included in this group. Their mean ± SD of age, weight, height, and BMI were (31.6 ± 4.62) years, (89.86 ± 3.73) kg, (168.13 ± 6.16) cm, and (31.88 ± 2.36) kg/m² and Group (C): received only therapeutic exercises (stretching exercises &deep transverse friction massage) with (15) patients were included in this group. Their mean ± SD of age, weight, height, and BMI were (30.46 ± 4.32) years, (92.46 ± 5.26) kg, (169.06 ± 4.19) cm, and (32.35 ± 1.64) kg/m² , All groups received its therapeutic program about (3 sessions / weeks for 6 weeks). Pain intensity level was measured by visual analogue scale and pain pressure threshold of trigger points was measured by manual algometer. All variables was measured pre and post treatment Results: showed that there was a significant increase in Pain pressure threshold of group (B) compared with group (A) and (C) (p >0.05) , and there was a significant decrease in VAS of group B compared with group A and C (p > 0.05)
