ABSTRACT BACK GROUND; Low back pain is a very common among female in middle age as well as older group.. There are so many causes for low back pain including infection, trauma, ligament injury, muscular pain, arthritic pain, neural impingement,discitis,visceral pain, sacroiliac dysfunction, etc. The incidence is more in post partum period which may be the continuation from pregnancy period .The low back pain during and after pregnancy is mainly predisposed by sacroiliac dysfunction. The anatomical, biomechanical, neuro physiological consideration became an evidence for loss of stability of SIJT in the etiology of nonspecific low back pain. 22.5% of patient shows SIJT dysfunction8 and also pregnancy and post pregnancy results in instability of SIJT5.Pelvic pain during Pregnancy was reported to exist 48-56% of females7,8,9,10 SETTING: Out patient clinic METHOD: 40 Patients who have diagnosed to have sacroiliac dysfunction after delivery were randomly assigned to two groups. Each group consists of 20 patients. Group I received ultrasound therapy with stabilization exercise and group II received sacroiliac gapping technique with stabilization exercise. Both groups were given treatment for 5 days per week for 4 weeks. Both groups were evaluated with VAS scale for painIntensity, measurement of lumbar flexion with inch tape and manual muscle power test at the time of initial assessment (time=0) and At the end of 4th week. RESULTS. The initial evaluation showed no variation between two groups. But the post test measures showed very high significance between the variable. However Sacroiliac dysfunction, Ultrasound therapy, Stabilization exercise, Sacroiliac gapping technique.a comparison between the groups showed a improvement with Group II ,which is statistically significant. CONCLUSION: This study led to the conclusion that gapping technique with stabilization exercise if effective to reduce pain as well as improve mobility and improve stability of SIJT dysfunction.
