Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: Maitland mobilization and lumbopelvic coordination exercises
|
group A received maitland mobilization technique 3 times per week which aimed to reduce pain and improve overall mobility and function .
Intervention involve streching the hip flexors muscles (ilipsoas, rectus femoris ,sartorius) performed as 2sets of 30seconds.
strengthening exercises such as pelvic tilts and bridges were performed using 3 sets of 10 repetitions.
|
|
Active Comparator: Standard Physical Therapy
|
group B was given hot pack for 10min to reduce pain and promote tissue relaxation followed by stretching of the superficial and coccygeal muscles around the pelvis and lower back performed 3 times for 30 sec each.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
|
numeric pain scale
Time Frame: from enrollment to 4 sessions per week for total duration of 4 week
|
the scale was used to determine the patient level of pain .
the range of this scale is from 0 to 10. no pain is represented by ''O"'and worst pain is represented by ''10''.
|
from enrollment to 4 sessions per week for total duration of 4 week
|
|
inclinometer
Time Frame: from enrollment to 4 sessions per week to total duration of 4 weeks.
|
The range of motion will be measured using inclinometer that has an inter-rater reliability (ICC2,2 = 0.92 to 0.96) and in case of coccydynia, the range of motion will be assessed in the sacroiliac joint, lumbar spine and pelvic region
|
from enrollment to 4 sessions per week to total duration of 4 weeks.
|
|
SF 36 questionnaire
Time Frame: from enrollement to 4 sessions per week for total duration of 4 weeks.
|
One of the most widely used tools for assessing health-related quality of life is the 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36).
Physical functioning (10 items), physical role limitations (4 items),bodily pain (2 items), general health perceptions (5 items), energy/vitality (4 items), social functioning (2 items), and emotional role limitations (3 items) are the eight domains of health status that are measured by the 36-item SF-36 scale
|
from enrollement to 4 sessions per week for total duration of 4 weeks.
