Brief summary
This study aims to compare the efficacy of Gong's mobilization and Jones's positional release technique in individuals with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
Detailed description
The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial involving 30 participants diagnosed with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Participants were randomly divided into two equal groups of 15 using a lottery method. Group A underwent Gong's mobilization, whereas Group B received Jones's positional release technique. In addition, both groups were provided with baseline treatment, including TENS and stretching exercises. Each intervention was carried out three times per week for a duration of six weeks.
Interventions
OTHERGong's mobilization
A pain-free, sustained glide is applied to the sacroiliac joint by the therapist. The patient simultaneously performs active movements.
OTHERJone's positional release
The therapist identifies a tender point. The patient is positioned in a way that reduces pain significantly. This position is held for about 90 seconds and the patient is then slowly returned to a neutral position.

| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire | 6 weeks | The Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire is a gold-standard tool used to measure a patient's functional disability level resulting from low back pain. |
| Visual Analogue Scale | 6 weeks | The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is used to measure pain intensity. The VAS typically consists of a 100 mm (10 cm) horizontal line where zero means no pain and ten indicates worst possible pain. |
