Abstract | Background: The usage of computers is rising in every field of work, mainly in IT professionals where a professional sit in a computer for long period of time. This increases the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, like low back pain and neck pain. Continues sitting for long period of time can cause tightness in piriformis muscle and can lead to piriformis syndrome and it can also affect the other hip muscles to become weak, and ultimately it can cause low back pain. Weak Gluteus Medius muscle was also found in the peoples suffering from low back pain and continues sitting. This study aims to identify the incidences of piriformis muscle tightness and to determine correlation with gluteus medius weakness. This study is based on an observational based design, 100 IT professionals were taken randomly. Method: IT professionals (n=100) registered during this study & on the basis of inclusion & exclusion criteria they are evaluated. The collected data is obtained by performing piriformis stretch test for checking tightness of piriformis & Manual muscle testing of Glutes Medius. Result: Out of 100 subjects 68% of the subjects are clinically diagnosed with piriformis muscle tightness & 37% subjects are having weak gluteus medius muscle. |
