Brief Summary

Sacroiliac pain is a huge problem in women during pregnancy and postpartum period. Muscle energy technique has potential effect in decreasing the pain and disability

Conditions

Sacroiliac Disorder

Keywords

Muscle energy technique; sacroiliac dysfunction; ice and heat pack

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• visual analog scale Visual anlage scale

  It was used for determining pain intensity before and after the treatment course for each patients in both groups (A\&B). Visual analogue scale is a-10 centimeters line, at one end was written (no pain = zero) and at the other end was written (worst pain the patient ever felt = 10)

  4 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Oswestry disability index

  4 weeks

Study Arms (2)

muscle energy technique

EXPERIMENTAL

muscle energy technique was performed in the form of post-isometric relaxation technique for iliopsoas, hamstrings, and erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles, it was done 3 times per session for 12 sessions.

Other: muscle energy technique

ice and heat packs

EXPERIMENTAL

Alternating ice and heat (20 min , 10 heat,10 cold),3times per week for 12sessions.

Other: ice and heat packs

Interventions

muscle energy technique OTHER

MET was performed in the form of post-isometric relaxation technique for iliopsoas, hamstrings, and erector spinae and quadratus lumborum muscles. the limb was taken very slightly beyond the restriction barrier and was held there for 10-30 seconds, it was done 3 times per session for 12 sessions.

muscle energy technique

ice and heat packs OTHER

Applying 20 minutes: 10 minutes hot,10 minutes cold on sacroiliac area, 3 times per week for 12 sessions

ice and heat packs
