Summary

Project Summary Low Back Pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal conditions worldwide. More than 70% of the people experience low back pain at some time in their life. The sacroiliac joint has been found to be the source of pain in 30% of mechanical low back pain sufferers. Sacral torsion is one of the types of SIJ dysfunction. This randomized controlled trial, conducted at Fauji Foundation Hospital and Foundation University College of Physical Therapy will assess the effects of combining muscle energy technique with mobilization on pain, lumbar range of motion, disability and active straight leg raise. Participants will be randomly assigned to either mobilization alone or mobilization with muscle energy technique, performed three times per week for two weeks. Data will be collected at baseline and at end of study (week 2) using the Numeric pain rating scale, goniometer, inclinometer and oswestry disability index. This study addresses a research gap by exploring combined effects of muscle energy technique (PFS) and Maitland mobilization for sacral torsion in improving pain, lumbar mobility, disability and active straight leg raise.

Conditions

  • Sacral Torsion

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Muscle Energy Technique + Maitland Mobilization

Group A will receive Muscle energy technique with Maitland mobilization. Treatment protocol given to both groups will be carried out for 3 sessions per week for 2 weeks. Post Facilitation Muscle Energy Technique. WEEK 1: * Hot pack (10 minutes) * Post-Facilitation MET for piriformis, Quadratus Lumborum and Hamstrings. WEEK 2: * Hot pack (10 minutes) * Post-Facilitation MET for piriformis, Quadratus Lumborum and Hamstrings.

PROCEDURE

Maitland Mobilization

Group B will not receive any form of Muscle Energy Technique (MET). Instead, the intervention will consist exclusively of a joint mobilization technique directed at Sacrum.
