ABSTRACT Background : Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a condition in which the joint is locked, Partially dislocated (or) subluxated in a non-anatomical position due to hyper mobility (or) hypo mobility within the joint. The biomechanics of the SI joint are complex.SI joint motion is affected by motion of the spine, ilium, pubic symphysis, and hip. The sacrum becomes dysfunctional between the two iliac bones either unilaterally or bilaterally. Aim: The aim of the study to find out the effectiveness of muscle energy technique along with kinesio taping in treating sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Methods: A total number of 15 subjects who met inclusion and exclusion criteria were recruited. Prior to the treatment, pre test were conducted with Numerical pain rating scale for pain, Oswestry disability index for functional ability.After a brief demonstration about muscle energy technique with kinesio taping, subjects were treated with the same period of 4 weeks. The post test were onducted for subjects by Numerical pain rating scale for pain, oswestry disability index for functional ability.Pre and post results were recorded and analyzed.Results: Result show that muscle energy technique along with kinesio taping was effective to improve pain and disability in sacroiliac joint. Muscle energy technique along with kinesio taping shows significant different in pre and post test value before and after application.Conclusion: The study was concluded that muscle energy technique along with kinesio taping was significant improvement on pain and disability in sacroiliac joint.
