ABSTRACT Background The major source of low back pain is dysfunction of the sacroiliac joint. Form closure and force closure are two main mechanisms that enhance SI joint stability. Biceps femoris & gluteus maximus are the key muscles contributing force closure of the SI joint, as well as promote stability through attachments with the Sacro tuberous ligament. Those with dysfunction of the anterior sacroiliac joint have been identified to have altered gluteus maximus function. However, there is a paucity of literature showing evidence on role of gluteus maximus and latissimus dorsi in SI joint dysfunction. Purpose To review the impact of motor control muscle activation on function, pelvic tilt, pain in anterior rotated SIJ dysfunction. Search method Articles were selected from PubMed , goggle scholar, pedro, research gate, science direct, Cochrane by using the key words. Selection criteria Articles emphasizing on motor control of gluteus maximus and latissimus dorsi activation in patients with anterior innominate SI joint dysfunction are the selection criteria. Results After reviewing the included articles, the motor control activation of global muscles will improve force closure of SI joint which provide great stability. Conclusion A literature review done on motor control activation on global muscles showed that they improve stability of the sacroiliac joint, enhancing physical function, reducing pain, and maintaining normal pelvic angle.
