The effect of two manual therapy techniques on sacroiliac joint dysfunction

Phase 2/3

Completed

• Conditions: Anterior Innominate Sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

• Registration Number: CTRI/2018/03/012887
• Lead Sponsor: Saviola Ribeiro

Brief Summary

The study was done to find out the effects of mulligan taping technique as an adjunct to Mulligan mobilization technique versus manipulation in anterior innominate dysfunction on a population aged between 25-55 years. The outcome measures used were visual analogue scale, modified oswetery disability questionnaire, modified schober’s lumbar range of motion and pelvic inclinometer scale. 30 samples were recruited and randomized into two groups for a duration of 6 consecutive days. The study was a one year duration study. Both the groups showed improvement but the group that received mulligan mobilzation and taping with conventional treatment was found to be more beneficial than manipulation and taping with conventional treatment group.No side effects were seen under this side.
