Effects of Mulligan's Mobilization With and Without Clamshell Exercises in Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is the changing of joint structure (ligaments, muscles and cartilage) that cause impairments and movement restrictions. It is one of the primary sources of low back pain among female population and often misdiagnosed. Almost 15-30% patients are suffering from sacroiliac joint dysfunction who presented with the complaint of low back pain. The aim of the study is to determine the effect of mulligan's mobilization with and without clamshell exercise on pain, disability and quality of life in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

About this study

A Randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Fatima Memorial Hospital Physiotherapy Clinic & Boston Physiotherapy and wellness Clinic through consecutive sampling technique on 32 patients which will be allocated through simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped into group A & group B. Group A will be treated with only mulligan's mobilization with movement at the frequency of 3 sets with 10 repetitions 3 times/ week without the clamshell exercise. Group B will be treated with mulligan's mobilization with movement and clamshell exercises. Outcome measures will be conducted through pain, disability and quality of life questionnaire after 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed during SPSS software version 21. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro Wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups.

Treatment and study plan

Mulligan mobilization

Other

Mulligan Mobilization designed to reduce pain and improve the patient's range of motion. Mulligan's mobilization with movement at the frequency of 3 sets with 10 repetitions 3 times/ week without the clamshell exercise.

Clamshell exercise

Other

As a general exercise, the clamshell can help strengthen your medial glutes, bringing more power and stability to your hips. This group treated with mulligan's mobilization with movement and clamshell exercises.

Primary outcomes

  1. 1. NPRS

    Time frame: follow up at 6th week

    Patient level of pain was assessed using this scale. This scale ranges from 0 to 10. 0 indicates "no pain" and 10 indicates "worst pain"

  2. 2. Oswestry Disability index (NDI)

    Time frame: follow up at 6th week

    It comprises 10 items, 7 related with daily activities, 2 related to pain , 1 related to concentration. Each item scores from 0 to 5. Total score is expressed as percentage with higher scores related to greater disability.

  3. Euro Quality of life (EQ-5D)

    Time frame: follow up at 6th week

    Quality of life will be checked by Euro Quality of life (EQ-5D) Health Related Quality of Life Question.
