Meta AnalysisEffectiveness of Evidence Based Physical Therapy Management Approaches in Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: A Meta-analysis.
Worldwide the prevalence of sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) lies within a range of 13% to 30%. In approximately 10% to 25% of patients, SIJD is a cause of mechanical low back and leg pain. A total of 498 subjects included in 10 studies conducted from 2018 to 2022 were included in this analysis. ⋯ The results revealed statistically significant findings of physical therapy-based management approaches in decreasing pain (SMD -1.068, p=0.0001, I2=95.11%) and lowering the levels of disability (SMD -0.997, p=0.0001, I2=95.76%) among patients with SIJD as estimated using a random effect model. It was concluded that physical therapy-based management approaches ranging from combined exercise therapy to MET and K-taping are significantly more effective than traditional approaches.
