Sponsor's own description

Background:

Mechanical sacroiliac joint dysfunction is associated with pain and stiffness which can later on gives restriction of overall motion. Total 60% of the body weight is mainly received by the sacroiliac joint and it is related with pelvis and lower extremity. Due to Bio- mechanical alteration muscles around the joint area get weakened.Muscle energy technique helps to improve body's normal function by giving strength as well as decrease pain and stiffness and Kinesiotaping also helps to stabilize the joint structure by giving more functional benefit.

Aim:

The Aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Muscle energy technique \& Kinesiotaping in addition to other physio-therapeutic intervention in patients with Mechanical Sacroiliac joint Dysfunction.

Methods:

This study is a randomized clinical trial and subjects will recruit on the basis of inclusion criteria. Age group between 30 to 50 years of mechanical sacroiliac joint dysfunction patients will be taken. Any pathological condition like inflammation of sacroiliac joint and fracture of pelvic bone will be excluded. Patient will be randomized on the basis of SNOSE method. After randomization in two equal group treatment will be given and data will be analyzed separately. One Experimental group will receive Muscle energy technique and conventional physiotherapy and another experimental group will receive Kinesiotaping and conventional physiotherapy. Modified Oswestry Disability Index helps to evaluate functional limitation associated with Mechanical Sacroiliac joint Dysfunction.

Data Analysis:

Normality of the collected data will be established by Shapiro wilk test. Based on the normality, descriptive statistics data will be expressed as mean± standard deviation or median and intra-quartile range. Within group comparison will be calculated by paired-t test or Wilcoxon Signed Rank test and between group comparison will be done through Independent-t test or Mann-Why U test. P value will be set at significance level(0.05).
