Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
Conditions
Brief summary
This study is a randomised controlled trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the effect of intra muscular electrotherapy combined with manipulative therapy in terms of pain, mobility, range of motion, and disability.
Detailed description
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of intra muscular electrotherapy combined with manipulative therapy in terms of pain, mobility, range of motion, and disability in patients with sacral torsion. (age : 22-44 years ) 1. Numeric pain rating scale 2. Inclinometer Lumbar Flexion 3. Oswestry Disability Questionairre 4. Goniometer SLR ROM Data will be collected before and after the intervention protocol for each participant. Data collection procedure: Participants of interest would be approached and explained about the research. Informed written consent will be taken. Pre and post intervention scores will be recorded.
