Abstract :

Background: The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of muscle energy technique and mulligan mobilization in sacroiliac joint dysfunction

Method: 30 subjects with sacroiliac joint dysfunction were included in this study. The age between 20-45 years. Subjects were selected by simple random samplig method and allocated into 2 groups, for group A muscle energy technique ,hot moist pack and mulligan taping and for group B muscle energy technique, hot moist pack ,mulligan mobilization and mulligan taping for sacroiliac joint. Before and after the treatment subjects were assessed and analysed with visual analogue scale for pain , Range of motion with inch tape for lumbar spine and modified oswestry low back pain questionnaire for disability .

Mulligan taping and Hot moist pack were used as baseline treatment.

Result:Statistical analysis was performed using paired t-test and unpaired t-test. Intra group comparison (within group) was analysed statistically using paired t-test for VAS, MODI and ROM using inch tape . This shows there is significant effect in Group A similarly there is extremely significant difference in Group B. But in intergroup comparison (between groups) was analysed statistically using unpaired t-test. This shows that pre intervention there was no significant difference in VAS, MODI and ROM. While on comp� post interventional values, the results between two groups using unpaired t-test revealed that there was statistically extremely significant difference seen in VAS, MODI and ROM.

Conclusion:From this study, it can be concluded that there was extremely significant improvement in subjects who underwent muscle energy technique, hot moist pack ,mulligan mobilization and mulligan taping(Group B) statistically and clinically. Overall there was extremely significant difference found between the groups. Hence this study accepts the alternate hypothesis (H₁)
