Brief Summary

PURPOSE:

This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of BMI on gluteus maximum activity in adulthood with sacroiliac dysfunction BACKGROUND: Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is pain arising from SIJ structures and SIJ dysfunction (SIJD) generally refers to aberrant position or movement of SIJ structures .
