Abstract Background: Sacroiliac joint dysfunction represents 15% of low back pain conditions. If sacroiliac joint is hypomobile, it cannot absorb forces causing musculoskeletal dysfunction. Purpose: This study was conducted to compare between Mulligan mobilization versus muscle energy technique in chronic sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Subjects: 45 chronic sacroiliac joint dysfunction patients (37 females and 8 males), their age ranged between 30 to 39 years divided into three groups. Methods: group A received Mulligan mobilization with movement (3 sets with 10 repetitions for 12 sessions 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks) plus traditional treatment program formed of ultrasound, infrared and therapeutic exercise. group B received muscle energy technique (3 times per session for 12 sessions, 3 sessions per week for 4 weeks) plus traditional treatment program. group C (control group) received traditional treatment program only. Doppler imaging of vibration, palpation meter, visual analogue scale were used to evaluate patients before and after treatment |
