A cohort study in pregnancy.To differentiate between pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PPGP) and lumbar pain, to the prevalence of each syndrome its consequences terms functioning, health.When studying prevalence, etiology, consequences, differentiation PPGP is important, and, our knowledge, for functioning health during pregnancy have not previously been studied.All women answered questionnaires (demographic data, EuroQol). Women with lumbopelvic completed Oswestry Disability Index,...
In Brief Study Design. A cohort study. Objective. To examine the course of subtypes low back pain (LBP) experienced [no LBP, pelvic girdle (PGP), lumbar pain, and combined PGP (combined pain)] during gestational weeks 12 to 18 3 months postpartum, explore potential predictors for persistent or postpartum. Summary Background Data. LBP is more prevalent in pregnant women (25%) than general population (6.3%). Persistent postpartum (16%) usually studied as a single entity. However, only one...
Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is a multifactorial condition, which can be mentally and physically compromising both during after pregnancy. However, long-term pregnancy-related PGP has been poorly investigated. This longitudinal follow-up study uniquely aimed to describe prevalence predictors of its consequences on women's health function up 11 years A postal questionnaire was sent 530 women who participated in 1 3 randomized controlled studies for Women reported experiencing lumbopelvic were...
Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) and low-back (LBP) are the most common musculoskeletal disorders experienced during pregnancy, yet they not familiar to healthcare providers in some countries. The objective was compare prevalence, severity, impact of PGP LBP among pregnant women United States, Kingdom, Norway, Sweden. Women's desires for, access to, experience treatment were also examined.This is a cross-sectional self-reported questionnaire study women, recruited at maternity care units gestational...
Prehabilitation programs have led to improved postoperative outcomes in several surgical contexts, but there are presently no guidelines for the prehabilitation phase before lumbar fusion surgery.
To investigate the association of muscle function and subgroups low back pain (no pain, pelvic girdle lumbar combined pain) in relation to pregnancy.Prospective cohort study.Consecutively enrolled pregnant women seen gestational weeks 12-18 (n = 301) 3 months postpartum 262).Classification into by means mechanical assessment spine, provocation tests, standard history a drawing. Trunk endurance, hip strength (dynamometer) gait speed were investigated.In pregnancy 116 had no 33% 99) 11% 32)...
A cohort study.To investigate the possible association of lumbopelvic pain and postpartum depression differences in prevalence depressive symptoms among women without classified as having pelvic girdle (PGP) and/or lumbar pain.Lumbopelvic are common pregnancy complications, but their comorbidity has rarely been evaluated not studied relation to subgroups pain.In a consecutively enrolled pregnant women, Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale was used evaluate at 3 months postpartum, applying...

Following lumbar fusion surgery, a successful outcome is empirically linked to effective rehabilitation. While rehabilitation typically postoperative, the phase before surgery – termed prehabilitation reportedly an ideal time prepare patient. There are presently no guidelines for surgery. Physical activity has well-known health benefits, and staying physically active despite pain major principle in non-pharmacological chronic low back treatment. Psychological factors such as fear of...
Abstract Objective Physical activity has well-known health benefits in all stages of life and may also reduce the risk for pregnancy-related complications, but many pregnant women do not reach recommended levels. Tailored advice is often provided by healthcare professionals to promote physical during pregnancy. To provide such advice, assessment actual level necessary, there are currently no standardized methods this. The Pregnancy Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ) a self-administered...
To investigate the predictive value of preoperative fear-avoidance factors (self-efficacy for exercise, pain catastrophizing, kinesiophobia, and depression), walking capacity, traditional predictor variables predicting postoperative changes in physical activity level disability 6 months after lumbar fusion surgery patients with chronic low back (LBP). We prospectively enrolled 118 scheduled motion-elicited LBP degenerative 1–3 segments spine. Associations between predictors dependent were...
People with severe low back pain are at higher risk of poor health. Patients scheduled for lumbar fusion surgery assumed to have levels physical activity, but few data exist. The aim the study was firstly investigate preoperative objectively measured activity in patients waiting surgery, and secondly whether factors fear-avoidance model were associated these levels. We included 118 (63 women 55 men; mean age 46 years). Physical expressed as steps per day total time spent least...
