Exercise and Two Different Kinesiotape Applications in Patients With Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction

Exercise and Two Different Kinesiotape Applications in Addition to Exercise in Patients With Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction: A Randomized Controlled Study

This study is a randomized controlled study. 99 patients between the ages of 18-65 who were diagnosed with sacroiliac joint dysfunction will be included in the study.

33 patients will be given a home exercise program that strengthens the waist and hip girdle (to be shown once in the hospital by a physiotherapist and the form of the exercises will be given), 33 patients will be given kinesiotaping (KT) with ligament correction technique with the exercise program, and 33 patients will be given kinesiotaping with lymphatic correction technique with the exercise program. Patients will do the exercises once a day for 1 month. KT will be repeated once a week for 3 weeks. When taping is performed, it will be kept for 5 days.The patients' pain at rest and during movement will be measured using the Visuel Analog Scale (VAS). Patient Global Assessment and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) will be questioned. Evaluations will be performed before, 4th week and 1 month after treatment (8th week).
