Brief Summary

Core stability training has gained popularity as a fitness trend and is now being used in rehabilitation programs as well the patient adherence to this intervention has been low due to its complex nature, particularly pregnant females .Limited literature is available to present the effect of core stabilization exercises in comparison to the other handful simplified techniques and exercises This study compares two interventions for this particular condition to identify a feasible and enjoyable therapeutic intervention for the pregnant women who suffer Lumbopelvic Pain.

Conditions

Low Back Pain; Pelvic Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  It is a numeric rating scale from 0 to 10 where 0 represents "no pain" and 10 represents the "worst possible pain.it is used to rate the pain intensity in patients

  Changes from Baseline to 2nd week

• Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

  It is a numeric rating scale from 0 to 10 where 0 represents "no pain" and 10 represents the "worst possible pain.it is used to rate the pain intensity in patients

  Changes from 2nd week to 4th week

• Pregnant women's quality of life questionnaire (QOL-GRAV)

  Nine items make up the scale that allows individuals to describe their individual experiences with pregnancy's quality of life. It had a greater internal consistency than 0.7. A 5-point Likert scale (ranging from not at all \[0\] to totally \[4\]) was used to rate each item. The final three questions-7, 8 and 9-are scored in reverse.
