Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the combined effects of kinesiotaping and core stability exercises on pain, functional disability, and fear-avoidance beliefs in female patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Detailed description

Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction (SIJD) is a recognized cause of low back pain, contributing to approximately 15-30% of cases. It results from abnormal joint mechanics, instability, or restricted motion, and often presents with persistent pain radiating to the gluteal or thigh region. Women are more predisposed due to increased joint mobility, hormonal changes, and biomechanical stress during pregnancy.

Conditions

• Sacroiliac Dysfunction

Interventions
