Introduction:
The first complain in Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS)
is usually sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain andmorning stiffness. Aside
from inflammation, the SIJ pain was reported to be related
with joint damage and mechanical stress. Many different
methods are applied for the treatment of SIJ pain.
Aim:
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of SIJ
mobilization (SIJM) on pain, function, and mobility in patients
with AS.
The Cases:
One of the two cases with SIJ pain was a 46-year-
old male and the other was a 34-year-old female. The cases
received seven sessions of mobilizations with movements
(MWM) according to the Mulligan concept, repeated every
four days. The patients were assessed for SIJM right before
and after the first session and for pain, function, and mobility
at 2nd and 8th sessions.
Outcome:
Decrease in pain and increase in functional
performance and mobility were noted in both cases at the
end of eight sessions.
Conclusion:
These cases have demonstrated that SIJ joint
mobilization is effective in improving pain, function, and
mobility of patients with ankylosing spondylitis. For clearer
contributions to the literature, studies with increased number
of cases should be conducted.
