Abstract
This study was conducted on forty pregnant women who were selected randomly from El Shatbe University Hospital in Alexandria, Alexandria University, having sacroiliac joint dysfunction and shared in this study. Their ages ranged from 20-35 years old and their BMI didn’t exceed 40kg/m2. They were divided into two equal groups: Group A was treated by postural correction exercises, 30 minutes three times per week for two weeks, and Group B was treated by postural correction exercises and mobilization with movement 10 repetitions each session day after day for two weeks. The study was conducted from March 2015 to December 2015. Pain intensity was assessed using pressure algometer and modified Oswestry disability questionnaire. Lumbosacral flexion range of motion (L5, S1) was assessed using universal inclinometer. Results showed that there was highly significant decrease in pain intensity in both groups (A and B) post treatment in pressure algometer and modified Oswestry disability questionnaire. When compared both groups (A and B) post treatment together, there was a significant difference between both groups (more decrease in group B).
There was highly significant increase in lumbosacral flexion ROM in both groups (A and B) post treatment using universal inclinometer. When compared both groups (A and B) post treatment together, there was highly significant dif-ference between both groups (more increase in group B).
It could be concluded that mobilization with movement is valuable and an effective method in decreasing pain, im-proving lumbosacral flexion ROM and disability for pregnant women suffering from SIJD.
