Official title
Combine Effects of Core Stability and Pelvic Clock Exercises on Pain, Disability and Quality of Life in Postpartum Females With Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction
Overview
The study will be a randomized control trial and will be conducted in DHQ and Sadiq Hospital in Sargodha District. This study will be completed in time duration of 10 months after the approval of synopsis. Nonprobability convenience sampling technique will be used and 50 participants will be recruited in study after randomization. The subjects will be divided into two groups. Group A(Experimental) will receive core stability and pelvic clock exercises with baseline treatment while Group B(Control) will receive only core stability exercises after baseline treatment. The tools that will be used are Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), Oswestry Disability index (ODI) and WHOQOL-BREF. Treatment have duration of 8 weeks with 3 sessions per week and an hour per session is requires. After data collection, data will be analyzed by using SPSS version 26.
Interventions
- Other core stability exercises
Core stability exercises were performed in modified or low-impact forms suitable for the postpartum phase to ensure safety for participants with sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Each exercise session included two sets of core stability exercises with ten repetitions per set, performed two to three times per week for a total duration of eight weeks. - Other pelvic clock exercises
Pelvic clock exercises were performed in a hook-lying position to promote spinal alignment and minimize lumbar lordosis. These exercises were designed to improve pelvic awareness, control, and mobility.Pelvic clock exercises were performed for two to three minutes, three times per week, for a duration of eight weeks
Primary outcome measures
- Numeric Pain Rating Scale [Time frame: 8th week]
- Oswestry Disability Index [Time frame: 8th week]
- WHOQOL-BREF [Time frame: 8th week]
