Summary

Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction is known as an important contributing factor in lower back pain. Pain and stiffness experienced from the sacroiliac joint in the SI region (hips/groins or may spread to lower extremity) is referred as SIJ dysfunction.Physiotherapists have a wide range of options in managing SIJD including Manipulation, Kinesiotaping, Muscle Energy Technique (MET), McKenzie, Maitland's mobilization, and Mulligan's mobilization. So far studies have shown the efficacy of different treatment tools in combination or in isolation. Likewise, researchers have also studied the effect of piriformis stretch in combination with other exercises on sacroiliac joint pain. However, there is very limited literature available on the cumulative effect of piriformis stretch along with mobilization maneuvers on pain and disability in patient with SIJ dysfunction.Since piriformis is one of the most important muscles involved in stabilization of SI joint and a major source of SI dysfunction, hence the current study is designed to investigate the additional effects of piriformis stretch with manual therapy in the management of sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Conditions

  • Sacroiliac Joint

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Maitland mobilization

Participants in this group will be first given hot pack and TENS for 10 min. Then they will be given Maitland Mobilizations (10 oscillations total of 3 sets )with 10 sec rest in between. Mobilization will be Unilateral or central based on the patient condition and Intensity of Mobilizations increases as per patient tolerance in 2nd and 3rd session.

PROCEDURE

Piriformis stretch

Piriformis stretch will be given to this group. In first session piriformis stretch will be given for 10 sec with 10-second resting time in between with, 7 rep total of 1 set. For the 2nd and 3rd session repetitions will be increase to 8 and 10 respectively.

PROCEDURE

Electrotherapy

Hot pack and TENS for 10 min
