Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the comparative effects of Innominate Rotation Correction and Sacral Torsion Correction using Muscle Energy Techniques (METs) in patients with Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction (SIJD). A total of 50 participants will be recruited, aged 18-50 yrs, with confirmed SIJD based on atleast 3 positive provocation tests. Participants will be randomized into two equal groups. Group A (Innominate Rotation Correction) and Group B (Sacral Torsion Correction). Both groups will receive Conventional Therapy (Thermotherapy, Electrotherapy and Core stabilization exercises).

Study variables include:

* Independent Variable: Type of MET applied (Innominate vs Sacral Torsion)
* Dependent Variables: Pain (measured by Visual Analog Scale), Functional Disability (assessed via Denver SIJ Disability Questionnaire)
* Control Variables: Age, Gender, BMI, Baseline Pain/ Disability Scores

The intervention will last 4 weeks with 8 sessions (2 sessions per week). Assessments will be conducted at baseline (Week 1, Pre-treatment) and Post every second session. Data will be analyzed to compare immediate and short-term effects of the two interventions.

This study aims to provide evidence for targeted manual therapy approaches in SIJD, potentially guiding clinicians toward the most effective technique for pain reduction and functional improvement.

Conditions

  • Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Muscle Energy Technique for Sacral torsion

Conventional management including Electrotherapy by application of Thermotherapy or Cryotherapy, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) for 20 minutes, Core-stabilization Exercises, * Clamshells * Four Point Kneeling * Bridging/Side Bridges * Bird-Dog Pose * Dead Bugs * Dynamic Core Stability (Unstable Surfaces) For Sacral Torsions, Six MET protocols address Forward and Backward torsions on Left and Right Oblique axis using patient generated force in Prone or Side-lying positions. Left-on-Left (LOL) Forward Torsion, Right -on-Right (ROR) Forward Torsion, Right-On-Left (ROL) Backward Torsion, Left-on-Right (LOR) Backward Torsion, Bilateral Sacral Nutation, Bilateral Sacral Counternutation
