New treatment about sacral torsion: Joint
Energy Technique (JET)
Muscle Energy Technique (MET) is utilized to
correct pelvic asymmetry, inhibit pain, and improve
disability in Sacroiliac joint dysfunction (SIJD). But
sometimes the patient in SIJD is in too much pain to
contract a muscle or may be unable to cooperate with
instructions or positioning. Moreover there are patients
unable to be cooperative due to age, intellectual
capacity during sacral MET. Thus this study introduces
the new treatment of Joint Energy Technique (JET) to
easily apply for SIJD relatively regardless of a patient’s
condition. A new concept of JET in SIJD is proposed to
solve the difficulties, which is simple and easy to apply
to practice. The aim of this study was to investigate
whether the rotational direction of innominate altered
after JET on sacral torsion problem in comparison with
JET on neutral position. The 80 subjects in age group of
15-68 years with low back pain were randomly assigned
and confirmed as Left on Left (LOL) sacral torsion with
seated flexion test, Faber test and Stork test in right SIJ
with ipsilateral pronated foot. This study revealed that
there was a statistically significant (P<0.001) difference
in pre and post treatment of JET between both groups.
The Stork test was changed from positive to negative
in 37 subjects of group (A). In group (B), 6 subjects
were changed from positive to negative. A new concept
of JET is simple and easy to apply to practice in the
treatment of patients with SIJD. This trial is revealed
that JET is significantly effective in correction of SIJD
and sacral torsion. JET should be considered as an
adjunctive intervention in SIJD treatment.
