| Abstract | ||
| Objective: The study was conducted for evaluating the effectiveness of muscle energy technique in chronic SIJ dysfunction. Methods: 30 patients with chronic sacroiliac joint dysfunction from both genders. Patients were divided into 2 groups 15 in each group . Group A: received muscle energy technique using post isometric relaxation technique to erector spinae, hamstrings, iliopsoas, and quadratus lumborum plus conventional treatment program. Group B: control group received a conventional treatment program only .Doppler imaging of vibration, palpation meter, and visual analog scale was utilized for evaluating patients (pre and post-treatment). Results: The study findings revealed a statistically significant decrease in anterior pelvic tilting angle in group A (p < 0.001), also a significant decrease in pain in the 2 groups compared with pre-intervention values(p < 0.001) . Conclusion: The muscle energy technique is an effective treatment for decreasing anterior pelvic tilting angle and reducing pain in patients with chronic sacroiliac joint dysfunction. | ||
