Comparative Effects of Autogenic Inhibition and Reciprocal Inhibition Technique on Pain, Functional Disability and Gait in Sacroiliac Joint Dysfuction.

14 de mayo de 2026 actualizado por: Foundation University Islamabad
Sacro-iliac joint act as the shock absorber of the body. It is responsible for transferring vertical load of the whole body to lower limb hence contributing to stability of pelvic girdle. However, SI joint dysfunction is one of the most common causes of low back pain among the patients suffering from non-radicular low back pain. There can be a mechanical source which is due to muscle insufficiency or instability or a non-mechanical source which is osteoarthritis, infection or any trauma. It is thought to affect females more commonly with prevalence of about 46.71% in females and with the prevalence of about 15 to 30% in general. This poses great threat to bio mechanics of the body which can significantly lead to disability that can affect mobility, daily activities and quality of life of the individual. According to a study the pain caused by SIJD caused activity limitation and participation restriction of about 25% of the individuals. Hence making it difficult for them to continue their jobs. increased pain leads to worsening of the ability to perform ADLs which ultimately effects the quality of life. Altered biomechanics also leads to alteration in spatio temporal gait parameters.This study aims to compare the effects of autogenic inhibition technique and reciprocal inhibition technique in addition with conventional therapy in reliving low back pain, improving functional disability and alteration in spatio-temporal gait parameters in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Patients with SIJD will be recruited and will be randomly divided into two groups 20 in each group. Group 1 will receive autogenic inhibition technique of iliopsas, hamstrings, erector spinae and piriformis muscles along with standard core stabilization exercises and group 2 will receive reciprocal inhibition technique on iliopsas, hamstrings, erector spinae and piriformis muscles along with standard core stabilization exercises. The treatment will be continued for 3 weeks with 4 sessions of 25 minutes per week.

¿Qué mide el estudio?

Medidas de resultado primarias

Medida de resultado
Medida Descripción
Periodo de tiempo
Functional disability
Periodo de tiempo: before treatment after after 3 weeks
It will be measured by using Denver SI joint disability questionnaire which 10 questions questionnaire consisting of scoring range from 0-5 in each item answered. 0 means no disability and 5 means maximum disability. And total score is calculated in the form of percentage. Higher the percentage greater is the disability.
before treatment after after 3 weeks
Pain intensity
Periodo de tiempo: before treatment and after 3 weeks
Pain will be measured by NPRS. A line of 10 centimeters containing numbers from 0 to 10 marked. The starting point of the scale indicates 0 or no pain whereas the ending point marks the pain as 10 which means the pain is as worse as it could be.
before treatment and after 3 weeks
Gait Speed
Periodo de tiempo: Assessed at baseline (before intervention) and after 3 weeks of intervention.

Gait speed will be measured by calculating the distance covered in meters divided by the time taken in seconds during walking assessment.

Formula: Gait Speed (m/s) = Distance (m) × Time (s)

Assessed at baseline (before intervention) and after 3 weeks of intervention.
Cadance
Periodo de tiempo: Assessed at baseline (before intervention) and after 3 weeks of intervention.

Cadence will be measured as the number of steps taken per minute during walking assessment.

Formula: Cadence (steps/min) = Steps Counted × 60 / Time (s)

Assessed at baseline (before intervention) and after 3 weeks of intervention.
Cycle time
Periodo de tiempo: Assessed at baseline (before intervention) and after 3 weeks of intervention.

Cycle time will be calculated as the time required to complete one gait cycle during walking assessment.

Formula: Cycle Time (s) = Time (s) × 2 / Steps Counted

Assessed at baseline (before intervention) and after 3 weeks of intervention.
Stride Length
Periodo de tiempo: Assessed at baseline (before intervention) and after 3 weeks of intervention.

Stride length will be determined by multiplying gait speed with cycle time during walking assessment.

Formula: Stride Length (m) = Speed (m/s) × Cycle Time (s)

Assessed at baseline (before intervention) and after 3 weeks of intervention.
Step Length
Periodo de tiempo: Assessed at baseline (before intervention) and after 3 weeks of intervention.

Step length will be calculated as half of the stride length obtained during gait assessment.

Formula: Step Length (m) = Stride Length / 2

Assessed at baseline (before intervention) and after 3 weeks of intervention.
