Abstract | Background: Prolonged sitting position is the foremost cause of piriformis tightness among desk job population which Eventually leads to piriformis syndrome that results in buttock pain, reduces hip internal rotation and causes low back functional disability. Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of muscle energy technique and neural tissue mobilization on buttock pain, improving hip internal rotation range of motion and functional disability among desk job population having piriformis syndrome. Methodology: The study was conducted on 45 subjects including both male and female between the age group of 25 to 55 years. The participants were assigned to three groups—A, B, and C—using a convenience sampling method, with 15 individuals in each group. Group A served as the control group, while Groups B and C served as experimental groups. The outcome measures were Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain, Universal Goniometer (360°) for hip internal rotation range of motion and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for low back functional disability. Results: Statistical analysis revealed that by the 10th day, all three groups (group A, group B, and group C) showed significant improvements in pain reduction, functional disability, and hip internal rotation range of motion However, group C demonstrated a highly significant improvement compared to group A and group B. Conclusions: The present study concludes that neural tissue mobilization was more effective in reducing buttock pain, improving hip internal rotation range of motion and decreasing functional disability than muscle energy technique among desk job population having piriformis syndrome. |
