About this study
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the efficacy of two manual therapy techniques. Modified Sims Manipulation and Lumbar Roll Manipulation in treating Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction (SIJD). The study will examine their effects on pain, quality of life, and well-being.
Read the detailed description
The study investigates the short- and long-term therapeutic benefits of two different high-velocity low-amplitude thrust techniques, specifically Modified Sims and Lumbar Roll Manipulation, administered along with conventional therapy. Outcomes will be measured using NPRS, SF-36, WHO-5, and gait analysis (MaxTRAQ). Patients will be randomly assigned and blinded to the treatment group. Data collection will be conducted at Rasool Medical Complex, Gujrat.
