Overview

this study will be conducted to determine the impact of postural balance changes on low back pain during pregnancy

Back pain is a major problem in the general population, and it is thought to be even more common in pregnant women who have given birth. It has been hypothesized that this type of pregnancy-related low back pain (LBP) may be related to changes in lumbar posture, perhaps accompanied by stretching abdominal muscles or specific hormonal effects of pregnancy .During pregnancy, many hormonal, anatomical, and musculoskeletal changes occur. These changes alter the postural balance and increase the risk of falls. Falls during pregnancy can cause maternal and foetal injuries. Moreover, the incidence of falls during pregnancy is higher compared to non-pregnant women of the same age. The risk of falls increases with the gestational age, and most falls are experienced in the third trimester. so, this study will be designed to conduct new information about the relation between postural changes and low back pain during pregnancy

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

balance

The Biodex Balance System SD will be used to assess balance.higher values indicate more deviations and poor balance control.

Time frame: up to thirty four weeks

pressure pain threshold

digital pressure algometer from Wagner Instruments will be used to assess pressure pain threshol.The algometer was set to measure at a rate of 100 readings per second and always displayed the highest pressure measured. The round attachment surface had a diameter of 1.12 cm. Newton (N) was set as the unit of measurement on the device. Later, it was converted to kilopascals (kPa) to enable comparability with other studies

Time frame: up to thirty four weeks

Secondary Outcomes

pain intensity

visual analogue scale will be used to assess pain intensity. Using a ruler, the score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity.

Time frame: up to thirty four weeks
