Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will be conducted to compare between the effect of glutes maximus and glutes medius muscles strength on back muscle performance in patients with Sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purposes of this study are:

1. To investigate the effect of Gluteus maximus strengthening exercises and Gluteus medius strengthening exercises on back pain in patient with Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
2. To investigate the effect of Gluteus maximus strengthening exercises and Gluteus medius strengthening exercises on back muscle performance in patients with Sacroiliac joint dysfunction

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Glutes maximus Strengthening group

Twenty patients received Strengthening exercises for Glutes maximus muscle and conventional physical therapy (corrective exercises and ultrasound).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Glutes maximus strength protocol

Intervention Type OTHER

The subjects attended physical therapy two times. Per week for a total of 10 visits. Each session lasted approximately 30 minutes. In the first five sessions, subjects performed the following exercises to strengthen the gluteus maximus: bilateral bridge, unilateral bridge, and non-weight-bearing hip extension in prone with the knee flexed at 90 degrees. In the next five sessions, abduction and external rotation in a quadruped ("fire hydrant" exercise) and weight-bearing hip extension (known as "deadlift" exercise) were added. Each exercise was performed for 10 repetitions. Elastic resistance was added to the fire hydrant, hip extension in prone and dead lift exercises to allow each subject to perform at a 10-repetition maximum. The resistance for each subject was adjusted weekly as needed. The exercise program was performed under direct supervision only during the physical therapy sessions.

Corrective Exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

The following low back corrective exercises were given:

To stretch the tight lower back muscles: Seated Forward Bend and Full Squat held for 5 sec and Repeated for 3 times, once a day.

To strengthen the weak lower abdomen: Draw in and Reverse Crunch 3 seconds, repeated 5 times, once a day.

To stretch the tight hip flexors: held for 10-15 seconds repeated 5 times on both legs, once a day.

To stretch the tight quadriceps: held for 3 seconds, repeated 5 times on each side, once a day.

To strengthen weak hamstrings: Kick Butts 2 sec, repeated 8 times, once a day.

Ultrasound

Intervention Type DEVICE

US was administered in continuous mode at PSIS with patient in prone lying position, with a frequency of 1 MHz and intensity of 0.8 W/cm2 for 5 minutes every alternating day

Glutes Medius Strengthening group

Twenty patients received Strengthening exercises for Glutes medius muscle and conventional physical therapy (corrective Exercises and therapeutic ultrasound (US).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Gluteus medius strength program

Intervention Type OTHER

Strengthening exercises for Gluteus Medius subdivisions:

The anterior GMED exercise: side lying abduction exercise The middle GMED exercise: wall press Exercise The posterior GMED exercise: was the pelvic drop exercise

Corrective Exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

The following low back corrective exercises were given:

To stretch the tight lower back muscles: Seated Forward Bend and Full Squat held for 5 sec and Repeated for 3 times, once a day.

To strengthen the weak lower abdomen: Draw in and Reverse Crunch 3 seconds, repeated 5 times, once a day.

To stretch the tight hip flexors: held for 10-15 seconds repeated 5 times on both legs, once a day.

To stretch the tight quadriceps: held for 3 seconds, repeated 5 times on each side, once a day.

To strengthen weak hamstrings: Kick Butts 2 sec, repeated 8 times, once a day.

Ultrasound

Intervention Type DEVICE

US was administered in continuous mode at PSIS with patient in prone lying position, with a frequency of 1 MHz and intensity of 0.8 W/cm2 for 5 minutes every alternating day

Conventional treatment group

Twenty Patients received conventional therapy (corrective exercises and ultrasound).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age from 25-40 years.
* Patients with chronic lumbopelvic pain (more than 12 weeks) and clinical test positive for SIJD.
* The pain distribution and tenderness on palpation under the posterior superior iliac spine (PSIS) are reliable signs that the SIJ is the source of pain.
* Complaint of unilateral pain rather than bilateral pain is also considered more likely to be coming from an SIJ.
* Patients willing and able to participate in an exercise program safely and without cognitive impairments that would limit their participation.

Exclusion Criteria

* Neurological disorder, psychosomatic disorder
* Tumor.
* Infection condition.
* Recent surgeries.
* Pregnancy.
* Back pain referred from organic cause.
* Osteoporosis and bone disease (induced or idiopathic).
