Summary

This study will be conducted to compare between the effect of glutes maximus and glutes medius muscles strength on back muscle performance in patients with Sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Detailed description

The purposes of this study are: 1. To investigate the effect of Gluteus maximus strengthening exercises and Gluteus medius strengthening exercises on back pain in patient with Sacroiliac joint dysfunction 2. To investigate the effect of Gluteus maximus strengthening exercises and Gluteus medius strengthening exercises on back muscle performance in patients with Sacroiliac joint dysfunction 3. To investigate the effects of Gluteus maximus strengthening exercises and Gluteus medius strengthening exercises on function in patient with Sacroiliac joint Dysfunction

Conditions

• Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Glutes maximus strength protocol	The subjects attended physical therapy two times. Per week for a total of 10 visits. Each session lasted approximately 30 minutes. In the first five sessions, subjects performed the following exercises to strengthen the gluteus maximus: bilateral bridge, unilateral bridge, and non-weight-bearing hip extension in prone with the knee flexed at 90 degrees. In the next five sessions, abduction and external rotation in a quadruped ("fire hydrant" exercise) and weight-bearing hip extension (known as "deadlift" exercise) were added. Each exercise was performed for 10 repetitions. Elastic resistance was added to the fire hydrant, hip extension in prone and dead lift exercises to allow each subject to perform at a 10-repetition maximum. The resistance for each subject was adjusted weekly as needed. The exercise program was performed under direct supervision only during the physical therapy sessions.
OTHER	Gluteus medius strength program	Strengthening exercises for Gluteus Medius subdivisions: The anterior GMED exercise: side lying abduction exercise The middle GMED exercise: wall press Exercise The posterior GMED exercise: was the pelvic drop exercise
OTHER	Corrective Exercises	The following low back corrective exercises were given: To stretch the tight lower back muscles: Seated Forward Bend and Full Squat held for 5 sec and Repeated for 3 times, once a day. To strengthen the weak lower abdomen: Draw in and Reverse Crunch 3 seconds, repeated 5 times, once a day. To stretch the tight hip flexors: held for 10-15 seconds repeated 5 times on both legs, once a day. To stretch the tight quadriceps: held for 3 seconds, repeated 5 times on each side, once a day. To strengthen weak hamstrings: Kick Butts 2 sec, repeated 8 times, once a day.
DEVICE	Ultrasound	US was administered in continuous mode at PSIS with patient in prone lying position, with a frequency of 1 MHz and intensity of 0.8 W/cm2 for 5 minutes every alternating day
