Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Pain pressure threshold

    Changes from baseline, Pain pressure threshold was measured through Algometer.

    18 days

  • Disability

    Changes from baseline, Disability was measured through lower extremity functional scale. It consists of 20 questions. Minimum score is 0 and Maximum 80. minimum score shows greater disability and maximum indicate decreased disability.

    18 days

  • Piriformis Muscle Length

    Changes from baseline, Piriformis Muscle Length was measured through Goniometer by performing stretch test. Less than 40 degree internal rotation at hip indicates piriformis tightness.

    18 days

  • Hip joint range of motion

    Changes from baseline, Hip joint range of motion was measured through Goniometer.

    18 days
