Motor control patterns are altered when women with pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PGP) experience pain. In low back pain, these adaptations can persist after recovery.
This study aimed to assess balance control in postpartum women with and without a history of PGP during pregnancy.
Cross-sectional study.
Eighteen postpartum women who reported to be recovered from PGP, and twelve postpartum women without a history of PGP during pregnancy performed two clinical tests: the single leg stance and active straight leg raise test. Primary outcomes were ground reaction forces measured with a force platform.
Multiple linear regression analyses showed smaller lateral displacement (β = -11cm; 95%CI: 19 to -3; p = 0.008) and lower displacement velocity of the Centre of Pressure (COP) (Ratio of Geometric Means (RGM) 0.76; 95%CI: 0.59 to 0.99; p = 0.043) during single leg stance in the participants with a history of PGP compared to participants without a history of PGP. Push-off force (β = -4.8 N; 95%CI: 22.0 to 12.5; p = 0.57) and asymmetry of push-off force (RGM 1.77; 95%CI: 0.62 to 5.04; p = 0.27) did not differ between groups. During the active straight leg raise test, no differences in lateral displacement (β = 3 cm; 95%CI: 3 to 8; p = 0.30) and COP displacement velocity (RGM 1.03; 95%CI: 0.70 to 1.52; p = 0.87) were observed.
Although the women with a history of PGP considered themselves recovered, their balance control during single leg stance was poorer compared to those without a history of PGP. No differences were found during the active straight leg raise test.
患有与妊娠相关的骨盆带疼痛(PGP)的女性在疼痛发作时运动控制模式会发生改变。在腰痛患者中,这些适应性变化在恢复后可能会持续存在。
本研究旨在评估有和没有孕期PGP病史的产后女性的平衡控制能力。
横断面研究。
18名自称已从PGP中恢复的产后女性和12名孕期无PGP病史的产后女性进行了两项临床测试:单腿站立和主动直腿抬高试验。主要结局指标是用测力平台测量的地面反作用力。
多元线性回归分析显示,与无PGP病史的参与者相比,有PGP病史的参与者在单腿站立期间的横向位移更小(β=-11cm;95%置信区间:-19至-3;p=0.008),压力中心(COP)的位移速度更低(几何均值比(RGM)为0.76;95%置信区间:0.59至0.99;p=0.043)。两组之间的蹬地力量(β=-4.8N;95%置信区间:-22.0至12.5;p=0.57)和蹬地力量不对称性(RGM为1.77;95%置信区间:0.62至5.04;p=0.27)没有差异。在主动直腿抬高试验期间,未观察到横向位移(β=3cm;95%置信区间:-3至8;p=0.30)和COP位移速度(RGM为1.03;95%置信区间:0.70至1.52;p=0.87)的差异。
尽管有PGP病史的女性认为自己已恢复,但与无PGP病史的女性相比,她们在单腿站立期间的平衡控制能力较差。在主动直腿抬高试验中未发现差异。
