Osteopathic Thrust and Muscle-energy Manipulations on Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Sacroiliac Disorder

• Registration Number: NCT04337528
• Lead Sponsor: Universidad Católica San Antonio de Murcia

Brief Summary

This study assesses the effect of manipulative techniques of thrust and muscle-energy over the sacroiliac joint on plantar foot support, weight distribution in the lower limbs and balance in amateur runners with sacroiliac dysfunction. participants will be randomly assigned to one of 3 manipulations (i.e., intervention): thrust, muscle-energy or placebo.

Detailed Description

The thrust manipulation applies a high velocity and intensity push in a specified direction to correct the position or movement of the sacroiliac joint.

The muscle-energy technique consists of the therapist correcting the sacroiliac joint while the participant is applying active resistance.

For the placebo manipulation, participants will receive a false manipulation over the affected joint, without producing movement at the sacroiliac joint.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change in Weight Distribution	throughout study completion, an average of 1 month	The baropodometry platform will be used to measure the distribution of weight (%) between legs.
Center of Gravity Displacement	throughout study completion, an average of 1 month	The baropodometry platform will measure the distance traveled (mm in x- and y-axis)
Center of Pressure Displacement	throughout study completion, an average of 1 month	The baropodometry platform will measure the distance traveled (mm in x- and y-axis)
Change in Plantar support	throughout study completion, an average of 1 month	The baropodometry platform will measure the distribution of weight (%) across the foot (i.e., forefoot and rearfoot)
Foot Plantar Pressure	throughout study completion, an average of 1 month	The baropodometry platform will measure the points of pressure across the foot with the aid of colorimetry (N/cm2)
