- Description
- M.Tech., Purpose: To compare the efficacy of diversified side posture adjustments and segmental drop piece adjustments in the treatment of sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Method: Thirty-two participants were randomly divided in two equal groups. Group A (n = 16) received diversified side posture adjustments and Group B (n = 16) received segmental drop piece adjustments. The trial consisted of seven sessions over a period of three weeks, of which the first six were treatment sessions, with the final seventh session serving the purpose of obtaining final post-treatment data. Data was obtained only at the first, third, fifth and seventh sessions. Objective data consisted of measuring lumbar spine range of motion using a digital inclinometer and pain pressure tolerance over the middle of the sacroiliac joint line by using a pressure algometer. Subjective data was obtained by having each participant complete a numerical pain rating scale and the Oswestry back pain and disability questionnaire.
