Abstract
Our study attempts to see if addition of shoe insoles to correct pelvic mal-alignment with MET, gives additional benefits over MET alone. 60 patients with SIJD were randomly allocated to MET-Group A and MET plus shoe raise-Group B. Pain on VAS and FLLD (as measured by foot board method using Palpation Meter) were taken as main outcome measures. Linear mixed model analysis using SPSS v20 was used for data analysis. Pain improved significantly (p=0.000) in both groups in the first 2 weeks. No significant improvement was seen further in group A. Group B showed a further decrease from 2week to 8th week (p=0.000). Group B showed statistically significant improvement in LLD (p=0.003) as compared to group A. Recurrence in pain at the end of 8th week as compared to baseline was 6% in group B and 23% in group A. Addition of shoe insoles along with MET gives significantly better results in pain and LLD in patients with SIJD.
