About

This study assesses the effect of manipulative techniques of thrust and muscle-energy over the sacroiliac joint on plantar foot support, weight distribution in the lower limbs and balance in amateur runners with sacroiliac dysfunction. participants will be randomly assigned to one of 3 manipulations (i.e., intervention): thrust, muscle-energy or placebo.

Full description

The thrust manipulation applies a high velocity and intensity push in a specified direction to correct the position or movement of the sacroiliac joint.

The muscle-energy technique consists of the therapist correcting the sacroiliac joint while the participant is applying active resistance.

For the placebo manipulation, participants will receive a false manipulation over the affected joint, without producing movement at the sacroiliac joint.

Enrollment: 80 estimated patients
