The Relationship of the Joint Blockage and Muscle Spasm

Czechia40 participantsStarted 2025-11-10

Plain-language summary

An interventional study aimed at verifying the effect of sacroiliac joint blockage on changes in piriformis muscle tension. The study was conducted on 40 subjects, both male and female. Physical therapy methods were used to diagnose muscle tension as a diagnostic tool, along with a visual analogue scale. The intervention was performed using manual mobilisation techniques commonly used in clinical practice. The effectiveness was verified using the same physical therapy diagnostic tool as at the beginning. The entire research process is time-consuming, taking up to 1 hour per examinee.
