Popis: BACKGROUND Sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD) accounts for up to 30% of patients with low back pain. Rigid taping techniques are often used for conservative treatment of SIJD related symptoms; however, its effectiveness has not been systematically evaluated. OBJECTIVES The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of rigid tape on pain, malalignment and mobility deficits associated with anterior innominate SIJD. METHODS Two groups (n= 37; experimental and control) diagnosed with SIJD participated in a randomized, controlled trial. Tape was applied for 2 weeks in the experimental group, whereas the control group received no treatment. 2 × 2 (group × time) GLM-MANOVA assessed effects of tape on pain; innominate rotation; and hip rotation range of motion. Chi-square and McNemar tests assessed the effect of tape on Gillet and Sitting forward flexion mobility tests; the Patrick, Posterior shear and Gaenslen pain provocation tests were used to test pain. Variables were assessed before (PRE) and after (POST) two weeks. RESULTS No group differences were observed for any variable PRE. Pain intensity, innominate rotation (p< 0.05) and number of positive mobility and pain provocation tests (p< 0.05) decreased from PRE versus POST in the experimental group. No differences were observed in the control group. CONCLUSION Two weeks of rigid tape for anterior innominate correction successfully reduced symptoms related to SIJD.
