Group-A (Experimental Group) patients had been treated with MET and Lumbopelvic Stability Exercises and Group-B (Control Group) patients had been treated with Maitland Mobilizations and Lumbopelvic Stability Exercises. Chit-Box Method: For random allocation of 60 cases into two groups equally, prepare 60 chits writing “C” (for Control group) on 30 chits and “E” (for Experimental group) on 30 chits. After folding the chits and putting in a box and well mixing, draw a chit, note the letter written on it, and then draw the second chit without replacing the first, note it and proceed similarly until the last i.e. 60th chit is drawn. The generated random allocation sequence may be one as appears in Table below . According to this sequence the first case registered will go to the control group, second case again to the control group, the third to the experimental group and so on to the last case to control group.

The mechanical SIJ dysfunction typically causes a dull ache that is located at the base of the spine on the affected side. The pain may become worse and 'sharp' in nature during the activities such as sitting, bending, lifting, standing up from a seated position, or lifting the knee up to the chest during stair climbing. Sometimes the pain can refer to the groin, buttock or the back of the thigh but rarely goes below the knee. The patients with severe and disabling SI joint dysfunction can suffer from insomnia and depression.The main causes of SIJ dysfunction are hypermobility i.e. ligamentous laxity and hypomobility i.e. degenerative joint disease, traumatic incident, hormonal imbalance, unilateral weak lower limb, reversal of concavo-convex locking relationship of SI joint, scoliosis, lumbar spinal fusion, spondyloarthropathies, hip osteoarthritis, femoroacetabular impingement, leg-length inequality, poor-quality footwear, biomechanical or muscle length imbalances.. Intervention 1: Intervention group: Group-A of 30 patients (Experimental group) was treated with Muscle Energy Technique that was applied on Quadratus Lumborum, Illiopsoas and Piriformis muscles of the affected side for 1 set of 5 repetitions with 10 sec hold along with Lumbopelvic stability exercises which were targeted to the ipsilateral gluteus maximus, contralateral latissimus dorsi and abdominals in 3 sets of 10 reps with 10 sec hold. Intervention 2: Control group: Group-B of 30 patients (Control group) was treated with Sacroiliac Joint Maitland mobilizations in 3 sets of 30 oscillations each on the affected side along with Lumbopelvic stability exercises which were targeted to the ipsilateral gluteus maximus, contralateral latissimus dorsi and abdominals in 3 sets of 10 reps with 10 sec hold.
