"Effects of Facilitated Positional Release Technique( FPRT) Vs. Manual Myofascial Release Technique in Female Patients With Piriformis Syndrome

"Effects of Facilitated Postional Release Technique( FPRT) Vs Manual Myofascial Release Technique in Female Patients With Piriformis Syndrome

This study is a randomised control trial and the purpose of this study is to determine the "Effects of Facilitated Postional Release Technique( FPRT) Vs Manual Myofascial Release Technique in Female Patients With Piriformis Syndrome.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Piriformis Syndrome
• Intervention / Treatment: Procedure: Facilitated positional release technique; Procedure: Myofacial Release

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to determine the "Effects of Facilitated positional release technique vs manual myofascial release technique in female patietns with piriformis syndrome.

we make 2 groups control and treatment group . we give FPRT technique to treatment group and manual release technique to control group in patients with piriformis syndrome.

first we take base line readings of HIP ROMS( abduction, adduction, internal rotation, external rotation),NPRS and LEFS(lower extremity functional scale)..

after 2 weeks of treatment again we take same readings and compare both readings.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: FPRT Group; On group A we will perform FACILITATED POSITIONAL RELEASE TECHNIQUE: we perform this technique on tight PIRIFORMIS muscle.	Procedure: Facilitated positional release technique; FPRT: Treatment group will receive 5 repetitions of FACILITATED POSITIONAL RELEASE technique i.e applying pressure over tender area of muscle while maintaining specific postion
Active Comparator: Myofascial Release technique Group; On group B we perform MANUAL MYOFASCIAL RELEASE TECHNIQUE on tight PIRIFORMIS muscle same as group A	Procedure: Myofacial Release; Manual Myofascial Release: Control group will receive 3- 5 repetitions of Manual Myofascial Release in Piriformis muscle i.e giving ischemic pressure on muscle directly for 90 secs and then release.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Change in ROM	Using a Goniometer, specific Hip range of motions (hip abduction, adduction, internal rotation, ext.rotation) will be measured. This process involves positioning the patient in standarized position (i-e supine lying for hip adduction,abduction and sitting for external and internal rotation) aligning the fulcrum of goniometer along the hip axis of motion and recording the readings( in degrees, starts from zero and goes upto the maximum possible acheived range) when joint moves through range of motion.	2 weeks
