Conditions

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Brief summary

This research aimed to ascertain the combined and individual efficacies of MCE and BT in alleviating SIJD symptoms.

Detailed description

The study will be based on a four-arm parallel group randomized control design. one hundred and twenty participants with SIJD will be recruited from the Physiotherapy department, at Integral University, India. Study objectives and procedure will be properly explained and written informed consent will be obtained at the beginning of the study. All the participants will be randomly divided into four groups A, B, C, and D. Experimental group A will be receiving the hot pack, Stretching exercise, and MCE intervention, group B will receive the hot pack, Stretching exercise, and BT exercise and Group C will be receiving the hot pack, Stretching exercise, and MCE & BT intervention, control group D will receive the hot pack, Stretching exercise intervention.

Interventions

Motor control exercises focusing on the activation and control of deep spinal muscles

OTHERBalance Training

Balance training exercises on to enhance proprioception and stability

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain Intensity6 WeeksThe pain intensity was assessed Using a numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), It's a 11 point scale, where zero indicates no pain and 10 indicates severe pain
Functional disability6 WeeksFunctional limitation was assessed by using Oswestry disability Index questionnaire Each section is scored on a 0-5 scale, 5 representing the greatest disability.
self-reported measure of health6 WeeksIt comprises 36 questions that cover eight domains of health
