Brief Summary

Pelvic girdle pain is frequently experienced in pregnant women and the mechanism of pelvic girdle pain is not known exactly. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of plantar fascia on pelvic girdle pain in pregnant women.

Conditions

Pelvic Girdle Pain; Biomechanical and Viscoelastic Properties of Plantar Fascia; Pregnant Woman

Keywords

pelvic girdle pain, pregnant women, plantar fascia

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Evaluation of biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of plantar fascia

  Measuring of the biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of the plantar fascia (with MyotonPro, Myoton AS, Tallin, Estonia) in the side lying position.

  Baseline Measurements

• Evaluation of plantar pressure distrubution

  Measuring of plantar pressure distrubution (with Tekscan, Boston, MA, USA) in free standing position

  Baseline Measurements

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Evaluation of navicular drop

  Baseline Measurements

Study Arms (3)

Group 1: pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain

This group will consist of pregnant women who are in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy and have pelvic girdle pain.

Other: Evaluation of biomechanics and viscoelastic properties of plantar fascia; Other: Evaluation of navıcular drop; Other: Evaluation of plantar pressure distrubution

Group 2:pregnant women without pelvic girdle pain

This group will consist of pregnant women who are in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy but have not pelvic girdle pain.

Other: Evaluation of biomechanics and viscoelastic properties of plantar fascia; Other: Evaluation of navıcular drop; Other: Evaluation of plantar pressure distrubution

Group 3: healthy women

This group will consist of healthy women who have not been pregnant.

Other: Evaluation of biomechanics and viscoelastic properties of plantar fascia; Other: Evaluation of navıcular drop; Other: Evaluation of plantar pressure distrubution

Interventions

Evaluation of biomechanics and viscoelastic properties of plantar fascia OTHER

The biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of the plantar fascia will be measured in the side lying position. Measurements will be made with the ankle in neutral position and maximum dorsi flexion position.

Group 1: pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain; Group 2:pregnant women without pelvic girdle pain; Group 3: healthy women

Evaluation of navıcular drop OTHER

The amount of navicular drop of both feet will be measured

Group 1: pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain; Group 2:pregnant women without pelvic girdle pain; Group 3: healthy women

Evaluation of plantar pressure distrubution OTHER

The distribution of foot plantar pressure and the amount of change in the center of gravity will be measured in the free standing position.

Group 1: pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain; Group 2:pregnant women without pelvic girdle pain; Group 3: healthy women
