Abstract
Background: Osteitis pubis (OP) in athlete is a serious injury that requires a prolonged rehabilitation period and time away from sport and its treatment is still the subject of search and study. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of a suggested program to correct muscle imbalance on pain, isokinetic finding and functional status in patient with OP. Patients: Twenty patients diagnosed as OP participated in this study. They were randomly assigned into two groups. group (A) consisted of (10) patients with mean age ±SD of 22.66±2.59 years, mean weight 73.3±5.47 kg and mean height 174.5±7.04 cm, this group was treated by suggested treatment program which consisted of post facilitation stretch, myofascial release, and individualized strengthening planed according to isokinetic ratios. group (B) consisted of (10) patients with mean age ±SD 21.7±3.65 mean weight 72.5±9.36 kg and mean height 173.5±6.13 cm this group was treated by traditional program which consisted of therapeutic modalities in form of (heat application, Ultrasonic and electrical stimulation) and general strengthening and stretching exercises. Assessment: Patients of both groups were evaluated pre treatment and post-treatment for pain, muscle imbalance ratios at 180 /sec, crossover hop and 20 meters cutting drill. Results: The results showed significant improvement for pain, crossover hop and 20 meters cutting drill for both groups with no significant differences between groups. While ratios of muscle imbalance showed normalization of nearly all ratios of group (A) while group (B) showed inconsistent results of ratios
