Brief Summary

This study was a Randomized clinical trial conducted to determine the Effects of gluteal activation with or without traction straight leg raise technique among patients of sacroiliac joint syndrome so that in future this study will be helpful for other clinician to determine that how much gluteal activation is important in low back pain or sacroiliac joint syndrome, and how it affects our sling system.

Conditions

SIJ - Sprain of Sacroiliac Joint; Weakness, Muscle; Tightness of Back Muscles

Keywords

Gluteal activation; Straight leg raise hamstring technique; Sacroiliac joint pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change of muscle strength of gluteus maximum by "Sphygmomanometer"

  change in strength of gluteal muscle was checked at 1st session and then follow up at end of 10th session

  Baseline at 1st session on 1st week,at 10th sessions on 5th week

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• change in pain by "Numeric Pain rating Scale"

  Baseline at 1st session on 1st week , at 10th session on 5th week

Study Arms (2)

Traction straight leg raise technique for hamstring.

EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental group underwent conventional physiotherapy treatment (hot pack) followed by five main gluteal activation exercises three in first five sessions and rest two in remaining five sessions along with traction straight leg raise technique. Each session took 30 minutes . Participants were treated 10 times over a 5 week period with 2 treatment sessions per week. Pre and Post treatment readings were taken in 1st and 10th session over a 5 week period respectively. Assessment was done via Numeric pain rating scale and sphygmomanometer for assessing pain intensity and muscle strength of gluteus maximus.

Other: Traction straight leg raise technique for hamstring

Interventions

Traction straight leg raise technique for hamstring OTHER

traction straight leg raise technique is used along with gluteal exercises

Traction straight leg raise technique for hamstring.

Gluteal activation exercises,Hotpack OTHER

only gluteal activation exercises were performed without traction straight leg raise technique

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 40 Years - 60 Years
• Gender Eligibility Details: females above 40years having sacroiliac joint syndrome
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Subjects with LBP below the level of L5,
• With pain over the posterior aspect of SI joint around posterior superior iliac spine and buttock with or without above knee leg pain.
• Females only

You may not qualify if:

• Had radicular pain with neurological (sensory or motor) deficits,
• Had a history of spinal surgery, spinal, pelvic, or lower extremity fracture; hospitalization for trauma or motor vehicle accident;
• Hip or knee dysfunctions;
• Pregnancy;
• Any systemic disease such as arthritis, tuberculosis, liver, or kidney failure
• Subjects with leg length discrepancies, because of its potential effect on hamstring muscle length were also excluded. -
