Background: The sacroiliac joint (SIJ) has been long considered an important source of low back pain because its prevalence varies from 10% to 30% with axial low back pain. Several manual techniques were used in SIJ dysfunction (SIJD) treatment as manipulation, muscle energy technique (MET), strain-counterstrain (SCS), and mobilization. However, there is little evidence about the efficacy of MET and SCS have been reported. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: Evaluation and treatment were taken at Warraq Central Hospital and El-Sahel Hospital in the Giza governorate, Egypt. Purpose: Examine the effect of (SCS) versus (MET) on pain pressure threshold (PPT), functional disability, and the innominate angle tilt with SIJ dysfunction. Methods: Fifty-six patients with SIJD were recruited and randomly assigned to receive treatment with either SCS or MET. The outcomes were PPT by Pressure algometer and functional disability by Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and the innominate angle tilt by Palpation Meter (PALM). All outcomes were assessed at pre and post intervention and frequency of treatment was 3 sessions/week for 4 weeks. Results: An intra-group analysis revealed a significant improvement in all outcome measures in both groups while in inter-group analysis, there was a significant difference in frontal innominate angle tilt value and functional disability in favor of the MET group. On other hand, there were no significant differences in pain pressure threshold and sagittal innominate angle tilt between both groups. Conclusion: Both techniques SCS and MET were clinically successful in the treatment of SIJ, however, the MET was superior to SCS in the improvement of frontal innominate angle tilt and functional disability. specialized By Yasser Ismail Hussein Smail Abdelghany ; supervisors Bassem G.
