Brief Summary

This study will be conducted on 44 females with postpartum LBP \& pelvic instability, selected from Dar of women hospital in port said to investigate effect of clamshell exercise on lumbo-pelvic stability and low back pain in postpartum women.

Conditions

Lumbosacral Instability; Low Back Pain Post Partum

Keywords

clamshell exercise; lumbopelvic instability; low back pain; post partum

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Change in the degree of lumbopelvic instability

  Change in the degree of lumbopelvic instability will be measured by specific tests(The dip test, the runner pose test and the single leg squat test) and the pateint performance will be graded as poor or good

  change in the lumbopelvic instability degree will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions

• lumbopelvic range of motion

  Degree of lumbopelvic range of motion will be measured by goniometer

  change in the lumbopelvic instability degree will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• severity of pain intensity

  change in the lumbopelvic instability will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions

• the degree of function disability

  change in the lumbopelvic instability will be measured at baseline and after 6 weeks of the interventions

control group; study group

clamshell exercise OTHER

Each women will be positioned in side lying on the floor, with the pelvis and the spine in neutral position, the hips will bent at 45° and the knees flexed to 90°. She will abduct the top knee as far as possible, while keeping the heels together, then return to the starting position , the position will be maintained for 5 seconds in an abduction state, and repeated 10 times, with rest for 1 minute to minimize muscle fatigue,they will perform 3 times/week fo 6 weeks
