Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2019
60 participants with low back pain will be examined to determine the direction and extent of sacroiliac malrotation. If malrotation exists, they will be randomized to 3 treatment groups: 1 will be taught how to use their thigh to push the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) backwards for an anterior malrotation and their sartorius and rectus femoris to pull their ASIS and anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) forward for a posterior malrotation. 2: will be given a pelvic stabilization belt. 3: will return in one month. At the second visit at one month all participants will be treated with both exercise and belt. They will be reassessed at the third visit one month later: the scores for immediate and delayed treatment groups will be compared. Their response to these exercises and/or the pelvic belt will be tested at the first second and third visits, using the brief pain inventory pain, the Oswestry disability scores and the distance between the (posterior superior iliac spine) (PSIS) levels, filled out at every contact. Their satisfaction with previous treatments used will be compared to their satisfaction when using the exercise and belt.
