Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction, Obesity, EMG
Conditions
Brief summary
PURPOSE: This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of BMI on gluteus maximum activity in adulthood with sacroiliac dysfunction BACKGROUND: Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is pain arising from SIJ structures and SIJ dysfunction (SIJD) generally refers to aberrant position or movement of SIJ structures . An estimated 15-30% of all low back pain cases are due to SIJ pain The present study will be conducted to add a new information to the body of knowledge of physical therapy profession as it will investigate the effect of BMI on gluteus maximum activity in adulthood with sacroiliac dysfunction HYPOTHESES: . •There will be no effect of BMI on gluteus maximum activity in adulthood with sacroiliac dysfunction RESEARCH QUESTION: * Do BMI has an effect on gluteus maximum activity in adulthood with sacroiliac dysfunction?
