The Immediate Effect of Sacroiliac Joint Manipulation in Standing Workers

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Neuromuscular Subluxation of Joint; Physical Therapy
• Interventions: Other: Sacroiliac Joint Manipulation

• Registration Number: NCT06604312
• Lead Sponsor: SEFA HAKTAN HATIK

Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to determine whether sacroiliac joint manipulation has a positive effect on muscle strength, balance and range of motion in standing workers.

Detailed Description

The study included 40 participants who were previously informed about the study, met the inclusion criteria and signed the consent form. Participants were randomly divided into two groups as sacroiliac joint manipulation group (n=20) and control group (n=20). Hip and lumbar range of motion was assessed with a goniometer, postural control and balance with Biodex, and quadriceps femoris and hamstring muscle strength with MicroFet®2. The sacroiliac joint manipulation group underwent sacroiliac joint manipulation and the control group did not undergo any procedure. The effect of the manipulation was measured immediately after the manipulation and the significance level was accepted as p\<0,05.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Sacroiliac Joint Manipulation Group	Sacroiliac Joint Manipulation	Sacroiliac joint manipulation was performed in lateral decubitis position.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Biodex Balance System	It was performed immediately after the manipulation. In the control group, the first measurement was performed and the second measurement was repeated after waiting for 15 minutes.	Biodex Balance System (Biodex, Inc, Shirley, New York) (BDS) device was used to measure postural balance. It can extract anterior-posterior stability index (APSI), mediolateral stability index (MLSI) and overall stability index (OSI) for the measurement of standing posture control. Lower oscillation scores indicate better postural stability (Sung and Kim, 2018). The bipedal balance tests were performed with eyes open and closed and the volunteers were measured with their hands at their sides. The tests were performed for 30 seconds.
Muscle Strength	It was performed immediately after the manipulation. In the control group, the first measurement was performed and the second measurement was repeated after waiting for 15 minutes.	Muscle strength measurements were performed with microFET ®2, a digital handheld dynamometer. The measurement is based on the compression principle and has high reliability and measurement accuracy. The results were recorded in kilograms of force (kgf) and measurements were taken from the quadriceps femoris and hamstring muscles.
Range of Motion	It was performed immediately after the manipulation. In the control group, the first measurement was performed and the second measurement was repeated after waiting for 15 minutes.	Range of motion (ROM) measurements were performed with a universal goniometer. Degree was used as the unit of measurement. Flexion, extension, internal rotation, external rotation, abduction and adduction angles were measured bilaterally for the hip joint. Flexion, extension and lateral flexion (left-right) were measured in the lumbar region. For these values, the values determined by the American Association of Orthopedic Surgeons were taken as a basis, recorded during the measurement and proceeded in order.
