Overview
Brief Summary
This study was a Randomized clinical trial conducted to determine the Effects of gluteal activation with or without traction straight leg raise technique among patients of sacroiliac joint syndrome so that in future this study will be helpful for other clinician to determine that how much gluteal activation is important in low back pain or sacroiliac joint syndrome, and how it affects our sling system.
Detailed Description
Non Probability Convenient sampling was done . Patients following eligibility criteria from Sports and Spine Professionals ,Lahore were considered. Sample size was calculated with Epi tool calculator. 38 Participants were randomly allocated in two groups equally via convenient sampling method. Baseline assessment was done initially. Group A was given gluteal activation exercises with traction straight leg raise technique for hamstring and Group B was gluteal activation exercises without traction straight leg raise technique for hamstring. Duration of research was almost 6 months. Patient will undergo 10 treatments in five weeks. Each session will take 30 minutes. Pre and Post treatment readings were taken in 1st and 10th session over a 5 week period respectively. Assessment was done via sphygmomanometer and numeric pain rating scale for assessing muscle strength of gluteus maximum and pain levels respectively. All participants were provided written informed consent prior to commencement of the procedures. They were free to quit the treatment at any stage of research. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 23.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Subjects with LBP below the level of L5,
- •With pain over the posterior aspect of SI joint around posterior superior iliac spine and buttock with or without above knee leg pain.
- •Females only
Exclusion Criteria
- •Had radicular pain with neurological (sensory or motor) deficits,
- •Had a history of spinal surgery, spinal, pelvic, or lower extremity fracture; hospitalization for trauma or motor vehicle accident;

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change of muscle strength of gluteus maximum by "Sphygmomanometer"
Time Frame: Baseline at 1st session on 1st week,at 10th sessions on 5th week
change in strength of gluteal muscle was checked at 1st session and then follow up at end of 10th session
Secondary Outcomes
- change in pain by "Numeric Pain rating Scale"(Baseline at 1st session on 1st week , at 10th session on 5th week)
