This study was to compare the effects of joint mobilization, treadmill with insole, and joint mobilization and treadmill with insole on pain, pelvic angle, and foot pressure in patients with sacroiliac joint pain. 24 patients randomly assigned to joint mobilization group(n=8), treadmill with insole group(n=8), or joint mobilization and treadmill with insole group(n=8). Each groups were conducted 30 minutes a day, two days a week for four weeks. Pain was evaluated using visual analogue scale and pelvic angle was measured using palpation meter and foot pressure(fore/rear ratio) was measured using Gateview AFA-50 before intervention and after 4 weeks. All groups were significant differences pain in intragroup(p<.01). In pelvic angle, the joint mobilization group was statistically significant in the anterior tilt only, the joint mobilization and treadmill with insole group showed statistically significant improvement in both anterior and posterior tilt(p<.01), and the treadmill with insole group did not show any statistically significant change(p>.05). Also the joint mobilization and treadmill with insole group were significant differences in foot pressure(p<.01). All the interventions reduce sacroiliac joint pain and joint mobilization and treadmill with insole training are most effective changes in pelvic angle and foot pressure. This study can be used as a basic data for prevention of injury, posture correction and gait training in patients with sacroiliac joint pain, as well as chronic low back pain and plantar pressure problem.

For this research, 27 out of 52 patients with chronic low back pain involving sacroiliac joint pain were classified into the experimental group to conduct pelvic exercise program and traditional physical therapies in parallel, and the remaining 25 ones were classified into the control group to only apply traditional physical therapies for 6 weeks. After that, their clinical samples were randomly extracted. Before the experiment, both of the experimental group and the control group had the Oswestry disability index test to see how big their pain was and their hip joint angles were analyzed during walking. After the post-test, finally, the results of the Oswestry disability index test and hip joint angles while walking before and after the experiment were compared between two groups to know the effect of pelvic stability exercise program. Within-group results and between-group results both displayed significantly reduced low back pain, and when comparing hip joint angles of the experimental group, there were differences between mid stance phase, terminal stance phase, pre swing phase and early swing phase of the right hip joint, and mid stance phase, terminal stance phase, pre swing phase and early swing phase of the left hip joint. In the control group, there were significant differences between mid stance phase, terminal stance phase and early swing phase of the right hip joint, and loading response phase, mid stance phase, terminal stance phase and pre swing phase of the left hip joint. as a result, pelvic stability exercise program is helpful to gait rhythm on stance phase and swing phase although effective to decrease Oswestry disability index including pain.

This is a case study that sought to consider whether taping, which focuses on instability of the sacroiliac joint, is a potential intervention method that may be helpful for low back pain. In the case of a 58-year-old participant, we summarized the notable results from a taping training session that a man with a history of back surgery due to disc herniation and stenosis participated in to reduce ongoing pain. As an intervention method, tape was applied between the 2nd and 4th sacrum on both sides from the spinous tuberosity. It was stretched to a tension of 80% and attached past the sacroiliac joint, and then the ends were raised at about 45° on both sides and attached toward the gluteus medius muscle. Then, along the erector spinae muscle from the iliac crest. Bilateral taping up to the level of the 10th rib was applied. Through this intervention, positive case results were observed from both VAS and ODI test tools, with VAS recorded as 5 to 0 and disability index recorded as 13 to 0, respectively.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the sacrooccipital category II blocking technique may improve abdominal muscle endurance and alleviate shoulder pain caused by pelvic tilting. Methods: A total of 50 subjects diagnosed with category II sacroiliac joint instability and lower back pain were randomly assigned to the control or treatment group. The sacrooccipital technique category II blocking procedure (2-min duration) was performed 3 times a week until the category II indicator of joint instability had subsided. The control subjects were subjected to a sham procedure of equal duration and frequency. We assessed abdominal muscle endurance using the partial curl-up test and shoulder pain using a visual analogue scale, before and immediately after the intervention and 2 weeks after the intervention. Results: On two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures on time factor, significant treatment and interaction effects on muscle endurance were found. A significant interaction effect, but not treatment effect, was found for shoulder pain. Post hoc test showed that the shoulder pain was reduced immediately after intervention (treated group) and 2weeks (control and treated group) after the intervention as compared to before the intervention. Conclusions: This study suggests that sacrooccipital category II blocking can be used to alleviate shoulder pain caused by pelvic instability. The mechanisms behind the long-term benefits may include an increase in abdominal muscle endurance.

Pain originating from the sacroiliac joint(SIJ) has been associated with poor performance, yet specific diagnosis of sacroiliac dysfunction(SID) has been difficult to achieve. Clinical presentation of SID appears that pain and poor performance is responsive to local analgesia of periarticular structures with poorly defined pathology, and poor performance with bony pathological changes present as a result of chronic instability. Previous research indicates that physical examination cannot diagnose SIJ pathology. Earlier studies have not reported sensitivities and specificities of composites of provocation tests known to have acceptable inter-examiner reliability. Tests based on mechanics as manual provocation for SIJ pain have formed the basis of tests used to diagnose SIJ dysfunction. In this review summary, the purpose of this study was to describe the sacroiliac tests with a model of examination, diagnosis, and management of SID. Further research is warranted to determine whether SIJ tests is reliable means of evaluating innominate impairments.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a complex manual therapy program on hip and knee pain occurring together with menstrual pain and iliotibial band tightness in a woman with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Methods: This study was carried out over a period of 3 months by dividing the treatment process into three sequential stages. Intensities of menstrual pain, hip pain, and knee pain, and hip range of motion (ROM) in the participant were assessed at baseline and at the end of each stage, and a modified intervention was applied according to results of assessments after each stage. Results: There was a decrease in the intensity of menstrual pain after the first and third stages of treatment, and there were reductions in the intensities of hip and knee pain after the third stage. Hip ROM was rather decreased after the second stage, but it was increased after the third stage. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that treatment of the instability and positional fault of sacroiliac joint can relieve hip and knee pain, improve hip ROM, and alleviate primary dysmenorrhea in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
