Experimental: Post isometrics Relaxation Techniques (PIR)
In this group First conventional treatment will be applied for 20 minutes including Hot Pack and TENS (for 15 minutes) and sonics (for 5 minutes) Followed by PIR.
|
Post-Isometric Relaxation is a type of MET in which the target muscle is gently contracted isometrically (without movement) against resistance, followed by a passive stretch during the post-contraction relaxation phase. To reduce muscle tension, increase flexibility, and lengthen tight muscles (like the piriformis in Piriformis Syndrome). Position the patient in a stretch position for the tight muscle just before the point of resistance. Then ask the patient to perform a gentle isometric contraction of the tight muscle (e.g., piriformis) for about 5-10 seconds against minimal resistance. After contraction, the patient relaxes for a few seconds. During this relaxation, the therapist passively stretches the muscle to a new barrier and holds for 15-30 seconds. Repeat 3-5 times. So, the whole treatment session will be of 50 minutes. This technique will be applied twice a week for 4 weeks. |

Comparador Ativo: Reciprocal Inhibition Technique
This group will receive Hot Pack and TENS (for 15 minutes) and Sonics (for 5 minutes) Followed by METs.
|
Reciprocal Inhibition is another MET technique where the antagonist of the tight muscle is contracted, which reflexively causes the tight (agonist) muscle to relax.
To inhibit the overactive muscle by activating its opposing muscle group, allowing for greater stretch and flexibility.
Place the muscle (e.g., piriformis) into a gentle stretch.
Ask the patient to contract the antagonist muscle (e.g., hip adductors/internal rotators) for about 5-10 seconds.
Therapist then passively stretches the target muscle (e.g., piriformis) further.
Repeat 3-5 times.
So, the whole treatment session will be of 50 minutes.
This technique will be applied twice a week for 4 weeks.

Medidas de resultados primários
Medida de resultado |
Descrição da medida |
Prazo |
|---|---|---|
|
NPRS for assessment of pain
Prazo: 4 weeks
|
To determine the degree of pain that the patient will report, the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) will be utilized.
|
4 weeks
|
|
Lower Extremity Function Test (LEFT)
Prazo: 4 weeks
|
The LEFT protocol includes a timed sequence of agility-based tasks, typically performed in a zigzag pattern or shuttle-based layout over a 120-foot course
|
4 weeks
|
|
GONIOMETERY
Prazo: 4 weeks
|
Goniometry is the measurement of joint angles in the human body using a tool called a goniometer.
It is a standard and essential part of physical therapy and rehabilitation for assessing range of motion (ROM) in various joints
