About this study
Official title: "Effects of Facilitated Postional Release Technique( FPRT) Vs Manual Myofascial Release Technique in Female Patients With Piriformis Syndrome
This study is a randomised control trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the "Effects of Facilitated Postional Release Technique( FPRT) Vs Manual Myofascial Release Technique in Female Patients With Piriformis Syndrome.
Read the detailed description
The purpose of this study is to determine the "Effects of Facilitated positional release technique vs manual myofascial release technique in female patietns with piriformis syndrome.
we make 2 groups control and treatment group . we give FPRT technique to treatment group and manual release technique to control group in patients with piriformis syndrome.
first we take base line readings of HIP ROMS( abduction, adduction, internal rotation, external rotation),NPRS and LEFS(lower extremity functional scale)..
after 2 weeks of treatment again we take same readings and compare both readings.
- Conditions
- Piriformis Syndrome
- Being tested
- Myofacial Release, Facilitated positional release technique
- Medical subject headings
- Piriformis Muscle Syndrome
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Myofacial ReleaseProcedure or surgery
Manual Myofascial Release:
Control group will receive 3- 5 repetitions of Manual Myofascial Release in Piriformis muscle i.e giving ischemic pressure on muscle directly for 90 secs and then release.
Facilitated positional release techniqueProcedure or surgery
FPRT:
Treatment group will receive 5 repetitions of FACILITATED POSITIONAL RELEASE technique i.e applying pressure over tender area of muscle while maintaining specific postion
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| FPRT Group | Experimental | On group A we will perform FACILITATED POSITIONAL RELEASE TECHNIQUE:
we perform this technique on tight PIRIFORMIS muscle. Receives: Procedure: Facilitated positional release technique |
| Myofascial Release technique Group | Active comparator | On group B we perform MANUAL MYOFASCIAL RELEASE TECHNIQUE on tight PIRIFORMIS muscle same as group A Receives: Procedure: Myofacial Release |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in ROM
Using a Goniometer, specific Hip range of motions (hip abduction, adduction, internal rotation, ext.rotation) will be measured. This process involves positioning the patient in standarized position (i-e supine lying for hip adduction,abduction and sitting for external and internal rotation) aligning the fulcrum of goniometer along the hip axis of motion and recording the readings( in degrees, starts from zero and goes upto the maximum possible acheived range) when joint moves through range of motion.
Measured: 2 weeks
