It is a musculoskeletal condition characterised by hip and buttock pain and may result in referred pain in the lower back and thigh, which is more common in women than man with a ratio of 6:1.
Aim: This study aims the effect of muscle energy technique to reduce pain and improve function mobility in female receptionist with piriformis syndrome
Objective
• To determine the effect of Muscle Energy Technique to reduce the Pain using NPRS.
• To determine the effect of Muscle Energy Technique to improve the Functional Mobility using LEFS.
Design: Quasi- Experimental Study.
Methodology: This study was designed on a quasi-experimental study design, with the total of 20 participants according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants will be evaluated using NPRS and LEFS before the intervention. The patients received the Muscle Energy Technique along with Conventional Therapy for 3 sessions on alternative days for a period of 4 weeks and they were assessed after 4weeks intervention program using NPRS and LEFS score.
Result and Conclusion: The result of the study concluded that Muscle Energy Technique along with conventional therapy were found to be effective in reducing pain and improving functional mobility in female receptionist with piriformis syndrome.
