The impacts of releasing the stiffness of hip adductor muscles on sacroiliac joint pai
- Conditions
- Condition 1: Sacroiliac joint pain and dysfunction: Painful touching of the sacroiliac joint and the positive test of 3 or more of the 6 tests diagnoses sacroiliac joint pain and dysfunction. Condition 2: Hip adductor muscles: include Adductor Longus, Adductor Brevis, and Adductor Magnus. In this study, Adductor longus muscle is examined. Diagnosis of hip adductor disorder can be made by two imaging techniques, including ultrasound or MRI or clinical examination.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Sacroiliac joint pain. Timepoint: Before starting treatment, at the beginning of each treatment session, at the end of 4 treatment sessions. Method of measurement: The patient is asked and recorded as 0 (painless) to 10 (worst possible pain) by the visual analog scale (VAS).;Sacroiliac joint tenderness. Timepoint: Before starting treatment, at the beginning of each treatment session, at the end of 4 treatment sessions. Method of measurement: Touch the sacroiliac joint to check for tenderness. Recording of tenderness information by a specialist doctor is done as follows: 1- No pain 2- Mild tenderness (causing pain with deep touch) 3- Moderate tenderness (causing pain with superficial touch) 4- Severe tenderness (severe reaction of the patient with superficial touch).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Quality of Life. Timepoint: Before starting treatment, at the end of 4 sessions of treatment. Method of measurement: Oswestry questionnaire.;Adductor muscle tenderness. Timepoint: Before starting treatment, at the beginning of each treatment session, at the end of 4 treatment sessions. Method of measurement: Touch the junction of the adductor longus muscle to check for tenderness. Tenderness is recorded by a sports medicine specialist as 1- painless 2- mild tenderness (causing pain with deep touch) 3- moderate tenderness (causing pain with superficial touch) 4- severe tenderness (severe reaction of the patient with superficial touch).;Stiffness of adductor muscles. Timepoint: Before starting treatment, at the beginning of each treatment session, at the end of 4 treatment sessions. Method of measurement: Touch the length of the adductor longus muscle to check muscle stiffness. Stiffness is recorded by a sports medicine specialist in the form of 1- usual consistency 2- touch of stiffness 3- clear protrusion.
