Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients were included in the study if they had: Age less than 45 as little radiographic evidence of sacroiliac joint osteoarthritis founded in patients below the age of 45 years. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction as diagnosed by an orthopedist and a rheumatologist. An anterior innominate rotation (as defined by a bilateral difference greater than 2.5 degrees). Pain in and around the sacroiliac region. Pain of at least 5 cm on a 0-10 cm Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Reduced level of pain with manual posterior rotation of the involved ilium. Three or more positive pain provocation tests plus positive active straight leg raising test on the side of excessive innominate anterior rotation. Positive results in three of four tests used in diagnosis of sacroiliac joint dysfunction. These tests included the standing flexion test, palpation of posterior superior iliac spine heights while sitting, the supine and long sitting test, and the prone knee flexion test. Insidious onset of symptoms unrelated to traumatic accident. A decrease in the normal active range of motion of the hip with an asymmetrical range of motion of the hip.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients were excluded from the study if they had: Any previous or concurrent orthopedic problems of the spine such as: scoliosis, ankylosing spondylitis, spondylolisthesis, lumbar spine traumatic injuries, disc herniation, and lumbar congenital anomalies. Hip fracture, dislocation, pathology or any other condition which may affect hip joint ranges of motion. Previous surgery in either the spine or hip joint. Structural abnormalities or mobility impairments of the knees, ankles, and feet. Neurological, Inflammatory and Respiratory problems. Vestibular system affection (by questioning the participants). Received intra-articular steroid injection in the previous three months. Undergone physical therapy in the 30 days preceding the study. Pregnancy.
