Efficacy of Sensory Motor Training in Improving Balance in Athletes with Plantar Fasciitis
Abstract: Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders affecting athletes, often leading to impaired balance and functional limitations. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of sensory motor training in improving balance among athletes with plantar fasciitis. An experimental study was conducted with 30 subjects divided into two groups: Experimental Group A received sensory motor training and Control Group B received ultrasound therapy and conventional exercise. The intervention was carried out for 6 weeks, three sessions per week. Balance was assessed using the Balance Error Scoring System (BESS). Statistical analysis using paired and unpaired t-tests showed significant improvement in both groups (p < 0.05), with Experimental Group demonstrating greater improvement compared to Control group. The findings suggest that sensory motor training is more effective than regular conventional therapy in enhancing balance in athletes with plantar fasciitis.
