Abstract

Background: The anterior pelvic tilt is characterized by ASIS rotating inferiorly in relation to the PSIS or beingpositioned lower than the PSIS in the sagittal plane. When compared to non-athletes, football players are morelikely to have a higher anterior pelvic tilt angle. The anterior pelvic tilt experienced by football players may makethem more prone to musculoskeletal problems.Purpose: This study is intended to compare the effects of Swiss ball and McKenzie exercise on a sample of footballplayers who have an anterior pelvic tilt without any symptoms.Materials and Methods: 30 Subjects who were selected in the stadium under Shai physio clinic based on inclusioncriteria. They were divided equally among two groups. Group A (n=15) subjects were managed with Swiss Ballexercise and Group B (n= 15) subjects were managed with McKenzie exercise. The subjects were evaluated usingAngulus ROM software. Study period:October 2022 to June 2023.Results: In Group A (Swiss Ball), the post-test mean value was 10.80 (2.27), significantly lower compared withGroup B (Mckenzie Exercise), 16.33 (3.04). This demonstrates the correction of excessive anterior tilt amongfootball players in Group-A following Swiss Ball Therapy. However, the subjects in both groups were found tohave a significantly decreased anterior tilting of the pelvis now exists following the interventions in Group A(Swiss Ball) and Group B (Mckenzie Exercise).Conclusion: According to the present study’s findings, participants with anterior pelvic tilt responded well toboth the interventions. Nonetheless the subjects who used a Swiss ball exercise were found to have correction inanterior pelvic tilt more quickly than those who performed the McKenzie exercise.
