Brief summary

The study aims to determine whether lumbopelvic manipulation yields superior improvements in pain, pelvic alignment, and functional ability when combined with METs compared to the treatment provided through METs solely.

Detailed description

With anterior innominate dysfunction (AID), the innominate bone rotates anteriorly over the sacrum, which produces pelvic dysfunction affecting the biomechanics of the pelvis, usually causing pelvic asymmetry and problems in regional and musculoskeletal patterns of pain, with the most affected being in the hip and low back. AID can hinder posture, mobility, and activities in daily functional living. Physiotherapy always includes a conservative approach. This study will be a randomized controlled trial with 46 participants. The target sample size was adjusted to 52 participants to accommodate a 10% dropout rate.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) for pain4 weeksThis instrument is commonly used to rate the severity of pain. A scale of 0 to 10 is used by patients to rate their present level of pain, with 0 indicate "no pain" and 10 indicate the "worst possible pain. The patient verbally report number between 0 to 10. NPRS demonstrate strong measurement properties in patients with low back pain
Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for functional disability4 weeksODI version 2 was used in this study assess functional disability associated with low back pain and sacroilliac joint dysfunction. ODI is standardized and widely used self-reported questionnaire evaluate impact of pain on activities of daily living and functional status. It consists of 10 sections including pain intensity, personal care, lifting, walking, sitting, standing, sleeping, sex life, social life, and traveling. Each domain consists of six items that are ranked from 0 to 5, with 0 being no disability and 5 being maximum disability.
Clinometer:4 weeksSmart Phone based inclinometer is a digital tool to measure body segmental angel when placed on Anatomical landmark Such as ASIS and PSIS and estimate pelvic tilt angel in standing and sitting position and align them using tape. This smart phone-based measurement tool has Reliability intra-rater: ICC = 0.87 and inter-rater: ICC = 0.82 in standing and in sitting intra-rater: ICC = 0.91 and inter-rater: ICC = 0.88 show excellent reproducibility and consistency of measurement.
