Exercise and Two Different Kinesiotape Applications in Patients With Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Exercise and Two Different Kinesiotape Applications in Addition to Exercise in Patients With Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: A Randomized Controlled Study

This study is a randomized controlled study. 99 patients between the ages of 18-65 who were diagnosed with sacroiliac joint dysfunction will be included in the study.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
• Intervention / Treatment: Procedure: Home Exercise; Procedure: Ligament Correction Kinesiotaping; Procedure: Lymphatic Correction Kinesiotaping

Detailed Description

33 patients will be given a home exercise program that strengthens the waist and hip girdle (to be shown once in the hospital by a physiotherapist and the form of the exercises will be given), 33 patients will be given kinesiotaping (KT) with ligament correction technique with the exercise program, and 33 patients will be given kinesiotaping with lymphatic correction technique with the exercise program. Patients will do the exercises once a day for 1 month. KT will be repeated once a week for 3 weeks. When taping is performed, it will be kept for 5 days.The patients' pain at rest and during movement will be measured using the Visuel Analog Scale (VAS). Patient Global Assessment and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) will be questioned. Evaluations will be performed before, 4th week and 1 month after treatment (8th week).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Home Exercise; The group will be given a home exercise programme involving flexibility and strengthening of the lower back, hip girdle and sacroiliac region.	Procedure: Home Exercise; This is a home exercise programme that involves flexibility and strengthening of the waist, hip girdle and sacroiliac region. These exercises are first shown by the physiotherapist in hospital, and then they are asked to do the exercises at home using illustrated forms. Patients continue the exercises as a home programme once a day for 1 month.
Active Comparator: Home Exercise and Ligament Correction Kinesiotaping; In addition to the home exercise program, ligament correction kinesiotaping will be applied to the patients' sacroiliac region.

Taping will be done once a week. It will be kept for 5 days. This application will be repeated 3 times.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Pain at rest	Pain at rest will be measured using the Visuel Analog Scale (0-10 cm).Patients are asked to rate their pain at rest over the past week and to mark a point on a 10 cm line with endpoints '0 = no pain' and '10 = worst pain imaginable'. The distance (cm) measured from the 'no pain' endpoint to the point marked by the patient is reported as the VAS score.	Before treatment (T1), After treatment at 4th week (T2), Follow-up at 8th week (T3)
Pain at movement	Pain at movement will be measured using the Visuel Analog Scale (0-10 cm).Patients are asked to rate their pain at rest over the past week and to mark a point on a 10 cm line with endpoints '0 = no pain' and '10 = worst pain imaginable'. The distance (cm) measured from the 'no pain' endpoint to the point marked by the patient is reported as the VAS score.	Before treatment (T1), After treatment at 4th week (T2), Follow-up at 8th week (T3)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Oswestry Disability Index	Oswestry Disability Index will be questioned to determine the level of disability.The degree of disability is quantified on a scale of 0 to 100%. As the total score increases, the level of disability also increases.	Before treatment (T1), After treatment at 4th week (T2), Followup at 8th week (T3)
Patient Global Assessment	Patient Global Assessment in the last week will be questioned by Visuel Analog Scale. Patients will be asked to mark their global assessment on a 0-10 cm visual analog scale (0:very good -10: very poor). Lower values indicate better status.	Before treatment (T1), After treatment at 4th week (T2), Followup at 8th week (T3)
