EFFECTS OF MAYOFASCIAL RELEASE WITH AND WITHOUT SUPPORT BELT FOR SACROILIAC JOINT PAIN AND ACTIVITY IN PREGNANT FEMALES

Abstract

Background: The largest axial joints in the body, the sacroiliac joints (SIJs), are located on either side between the sacrum and pelvic bones. Most low back pain (LBP) is thought to originate in the lumbar spine; nonetheless, The SIJ is a potential additional cause of LBP that is frequently disregarded. In order to comprehend the anatomy, biomechanics, sexual dimorphism, and causes and mechanics of SIJ pain, this study (Parts I and II) intends to analyse the clinical and biomechanical literature. This evaluation will lead to choices for both conservative and surgical treatment employing instrumentation.

Objective: To determine the effects of myofascial release with and without support belt for sacroiliac joint pain and activity in pregnant females. 

Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted involving postpartum individuals who underwent sacroiliac joint pain. Participants were randomly assigned to receive Myofascial release therapy with support belt, Myofascial release without support belt. Pain intensity and pelvic girdle, back pain disability were assessed using standardized scales at regular intervals

Results: A Significant difference was seen in score NPRS, PGQ, QBPDS Scale pre and post treatment with P-Value <0.05.The Mann-whiteny and Willcoxan Test result showed no significant difference in all parameters. At same time, the independent t-test also showed no significant difference p-value <0.05. 

Conclusion: The study concluded that for sacroiliac joint pain in pregnant female’s myofascial release with support belt and myofascial release without support belt reduce pain but myofascial release with support belt is more effective treatment option to reduce pain and improve activity in patients.
