Abstract : Compartive study between the effect of Electro Acupunture and Prefabricated Insole in Patients with Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common soft tissue disorder of the foot. The purpose of the study was to detect the effect of electro acupuncture TENS, stretching exercises of Achilles tendon and plantar fascia and prefabricated in-sole on patients suffering from plantar fasciitis. Subjects : Twenty three participants with plantar fasciitis were randomized divided into three groups. Group (A), 8 patients received electro acupuncture TENS, Achilles tendon and plantar fascia stretching and prefabricated insole. Group (B), 8 patients received calf muscle and plantar fascia stretching with prefabricated insole. Group (C), 7 patients received only prefabricated insoles. Methods : All participant were asked to assess their first-step pain in the morning with pain score (VAS), ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and foot peak plantar pressure were measured before and after 8 weeks of treatment. Results : A highly significant difference between group A and B for pain score (p<0.0001), ankle dorsiflexion (p<0.01) and peak plantar pressure (p<0.05). The comparison of means between group A and C recorded a highly significant difference for pain and ankle dorsiflexion (p<0.0001), and a significant difference for peak plantar pressure (p<0.01). There is no significant difference between group B and C regarding the results of pain and peak plantar pressure (p>0.05) and a highly significant difference for ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (p<0.001). Conclusion : The program of electro-acupuncture TENS, achilles tendon and plantar fascia stretch with prefabricated insole were effective in the treatment of plantar fasciitis. The prefabricated insole only was not effective in reducing pain or peak plantar pressure in this study. Planter Fascitis
