Effect of Retro Walking in Patients With Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
Effect of Retro Walking on Isokinetic Peak Torque of Lower Limb Muscles in Patients With Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the effect of adding retro-walking (RW) to core stabilization exercises (CSE) on isokinetic peak torque of lower limb muscles, pain severity, and disability level in patients with sacroiliac joint dysfunction(SIJD).The main questions it aims to answer are:
Will there be any effect for the combined application of RW training and CSE on isokinetic peak torques of, hip extensors and abductors, knee extensors, and ankle planter-flexors, pain severity, and disability level in patients with SIJD? Will there be any difference between the combined application of RW training and CSE and the solo application of CSE on isokinetic peak torques hip extensors and abductors, knee extensors, and ankle planter-flexors, pain severity, and disability level in patients with SIJD?

Descrizione dettagliata
One of the most overlooked sources of low back pain (LBP) is the sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD). The reported prevalence of chronic mechanical LBP originating from the sacroiliac joint (SIJ) ranges from 15% to 30% with females being affected more than males. SIJ is the largest axial joint in the body that connects the spine to the pelvis and thus transfers load from the lumbar spine to lower extremities and vice versa. During weight bearing activities, the ankle, knee and hip act as a linked system minimizing the transmission of force to the pelvis and spine.
Some studies investigated electromyographic activity of gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and other lumbo-pelvic muscles in patients with SIJD. They found reduced activity of these muscles and delayed onset of activation in SIJD compared with the controls. Also, recent studies found there was a relation between pelvic, and lower limb injuries and SIJD.
Treatment of SIJ pain is variable, and there are no guidelines or an appropriate management plan for this dysfunction. Core Stabilization Exercises (CSE) are a common form of exercise therapy used to treat LBP and SIJD. Backward walking (BW) or retro-walking (RW) is a recently emerging exercise that helps enhance the balance, muscle strength of the lower limbs and hamstring flexibility. Reviewing the literature revealed that there was no study investigated the effect of BW training on lower limb muscles' strength, pain, and disability in patients with SIJD. Yet, there is a gap in literature regarding the effect of RW training on hip, knee, and ankle muscles' strength in such patients. Furthermore, the effect of adding RW training to CSE on such variables wasn't previously investigated. So, the current study will be conducted to fill this gap, by investigating the effect of adding RW to CSE on isokinetic peak torques of hip extensors and abductors, knee extensors, ankle planter-flexors, pain severity, and disability level in patients with SIJD. Additionally, this study aims to compare the changes in the selected parameters after applying RW in addition to CSE versus applying CSE only in patients with SIJD.
