Brief Summary

Pregnancy is the main occasion of every woman's life in which numerous episodes of physiological and anatomical adjustments takes place within woman's body to become a mother. Anatomical changes often leads to poor biomechanics and may cause mechanical dysfunction of spine especially lower back.. Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) goes through most of mobility during the period of pregnancy due to hormone release causes ligamentous laxity that can cause SIJD.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Disability

  It will be used for the participants to assess the disability with low back pain, comprised of 24 items regarding functional status that are likely to be affected by LBP. The scoring of RMQD will show '0' as no disability and '24' as maximum disability

  After 4 weeks

• Pelvic tilting

  PALM device is portable, convenient to use that combines the features of a caliper and inclinometer. It is reliable tool used for measuring pelvic tilting angle/inclination by marking a point just inferior to ASIS; another mark inferior to PSIS. Keeping the calipers of the PALM on these two points to determine the distance in centimeter between two points

Interventions

Kinesiotaping OTHER

For the KT application, participants will be asked to stand with keeping their feet at shoulder level in a comfortable manner. The patient will be in a standing position with lumbar spine flexion. A 5 cm wide long I-shaped piece of tape will be applied with 80% tension transverse to the patient's painful area and the bilateral SIJ region, with no tension applied to the ends of the tape. Another short piece of tape will be applied with 80% tension at an angle from the painful point to the hip, and no tension will be applied to the ends of the tape. An identical application will be performed on the other side of the sacroiliac region

kinesiotaping

Muscle Energy Technique OTHER

The subject will be asked for the sitting on the treatment table, back towards the therapist. Then the subject will be taken into flexion, rotation and side bending. When the subject will reach the tolerated limit of flexion, the therapist will ask him to perform extension, sidebending and rotation to the opposite side while holding the breath for 7-10 seconds and rest for 2-3 seconds, then the patient will be asked to release the breath. The therapist will wait for the participant's full exhalation and then will take her further in all the directions of restriction, towards the new barrier. MET will be performed for 10 repetitions.
