Study summary

This study aims to compare the efficacy of Gong's mobilization and Jones's positional release technique in individuals with sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

Read the detailed description

The study was designed as a randomized controlled trial involving 30 participants diagnosed with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Participants were randomly divided into two equal groups of 15 using a lottery method. Group A underwent Gong's mobilization, whereas Group B received Jones's positional release technique. In addition, both groups were provided with baseline treatment, including TENS and stretching exercises. Each intervention was carried out three times per week for a duration of six weeks.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Gong's mobilization

    A pain-free, sustained glide is applied to the sacroiliac joint by the therapist. The patient simultaneously performs active movements.

    Other: Gong's mobilization

  • Experimental
    Jone's positional release

    The therapist identifies a tender point. The patient is positioned in a way that reduces pain significantly. This position is held for about 90 seconds and the patient is then slowly returned to a neutral position.

    Other: Jone's positional release

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire

    The Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire is a gold-standard tool used to measure a patient's functional disability level resulting from low back pain.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

  2. Visual Analogue Scale

    The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is used to measure pain intensity. The VAS typically consists of a 100 mm (10 cm) horizontal line where zero means no pain and ten indicates worst possible pain.

    Time frame: 6 weeks
