Summary

This research aims to compare the effect of weighted and elastic resistance training of gluteus maximus in subjects with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Randomized clinical trials were done. The sample size was 54. The subjects were divided into two groups, 27 subjects in the weighted resistance training group and 27 in the elastic resisted training group. The study duration was of 1 year. The sampling technique applied was the non-probability connivance sampling technique. Only 20-40 years of symptomatic subjects with pain in the SI region for at least 12 weeks (chronic) and had no previous physical therapy treatment were included. Tools used in the study are numeric pain scale, dynamometer, and Oswestry disability index. Data was be analyzed through SPSS 21.

Group A: Elastic resisted training for Gluteus Maximus strength

Subjects attended physical therapy two times per week for a total of 10 visits. In the first five sessions, subjects performed the following exercises to strengthen the gluteus maximus: bilateral bridge, unilateral bridge, and non-weight-bearing hip extension in prone with the knee flexed at 90 degrees. In the next five sessions, abduction and external rotation in a quadruped ("fire hydrant" exercise) and weight-bearing hip extension (known as "deadlift" exercise) are added. Each exercise was performed for 10 repetitions. Elastic resistance was Added to the fire hydrant, hip extension in prone and deadlift exercises to allow each subject to perform at a 10-repetition maximum. The resistance for each subject was adjusted weekly as needed. The exercise program was performed under direct supervision only during the physical therapy sessions.

Group B: Weight resisted training for Gluteus Maximus strength

Subjects attended p two times per week for a total of 10 visits. The participants performed PHEKF in 90° knee flexion with 30° hip abduction and 10° hip extension to increase the muscle activity of the gluteus maximus. In the prone position, the participant performed 10° hip extension until the posterior knee reached the horizontal bar. The participants maintained 90° knee flexion with 30° hip abduction and 10° hip extension in the prone position against the resistance. Sandbags (3 kg) will be used to provide resistance on the ankle through a rope and pulley. Each subject performed three sets with three repetitions of five seconds each. 1-minute break is allowed between each set.
