Objectives: To determine the incidence of sacroiliac dysfunction in pregnancy and assess its progress during the course of the pregnancy.
Methods: The present prospective cohort study, performed between April 1, 2013, and May 31, 2016, enrolled primigravidae aged 25-35 years before 13 weeks of pregnancies who were experiencing back pain and did not have prior symptoms of sacroiliac dysfunction. Participants attended regular follow-up over 6 months and clinical functional tests were used to diagnose sacroiliac dysfunction. Women with sacroiliac dysfunction were assessed at 3-week intervals with a numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and the pregnancy mobility index (PMI).
Results: Among 1500 women who fulfilled the inclusion criteria, 1181 (78.7%) were diagnosed with sacroiliac dysfunction and 1143 completed all follow-up. Pain assessed by the NPRS gradually worsened from the first toward the third trimester (P<0.001). The level of disability assessed by the PMI also increased from the beginning to the end of pregnancy (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Sacroiliac dysfunction represents an important problem during pregnancy; pain severity and mobility problems increased during the course of pregnancy in the present study.

Objective: To determine the impact of core stabilisation exercises with and without dry cupping on aches and impairment in sacroiliac joint dysfunction.
Methods: The randomised controlled trial was conducted from June 15, 2022, to November 30, 2023, at the Riphah Rehabilitation Centre, Lahore, Pakistan, and comprised subjects who were randomised into two groups. Intervention Group A received core stabilisation training in addition to dry cupping therapy, while control Group B received core stabilisation training alone.

Background: Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction accounts for the etiology of pain in 15%-30% of low back pain cases. Some patients with conservative treatment-refractory SIJ dysfunction undergo radiofrequency (RF) ablation of the SIJ for prolonged pain relief. This procedure involves placing up to 12 RF probes in what is an invasive, resource-intensive, and time-consuming process.

Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain is one of the most prevalent reasons for disability, it affects the contraction ratio of the muscles of the back. Imaging is critical for diagnosing back muscles. The purpose of this study was to look at changes in the muscle contraction ratio of the lumbar multifidus (LM) and erector spinae (ES) in unilateral SIJ pain.

Background: Low back pain affects over 80 % of adults, with sacroiliac joint dysfunction accounting for 15-30 % of these cases. Sacroiliac fusion is a surgical procedure for refractory joint pain. While the biomechanics of the joint and its fusion relative to the spinal column are well-known, the hip-spine relationship post-fusion remains unclear.

Background: The sacroiliac joints (SIJ) are specialized articulations in the pelvis that allow load transfer between the upper and lower body. Traumatic pelvic disruption often requires surgical fixation of at least one of these joints. Subsequent SIJ pain is associated with asymmetries in joint laxity or stiffness.
