Pelvic Girdle Pain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Assessment of pain

    Visual analog scale will be used to assess pain level in each woman in both groups before and after the treatment program. The score is determined by measuring the distance (mm) on the 10-cm line between the "no pain" anchor and the patient's mark, providing a range of scores from 0-100. A higher score indicates greater pain intensity. The following cut points on the pain VAS have been recommended: no pain (0-4 mm), mild pain (5-44 mm), moderate pain (45-74 mm), and severe pain (75-100 mm)

    8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Measurement of disability level

    8 weeks

  • Assessment of lumbar flexion range of motion (ROM)

    8 weeks

  • Assessment of lumbar extension range of motion (ROM)

    8 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Core stability exercise and myofascial release group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The participants will receive core stability exercise and myofascial release for 20 min three times per week for 8 weeks.

Other: Core stability exerciseOther: Myofascial release

Kinesiotaping, in addition to core stability exercise and myofascial release group

EXPERIMENTAL

The participants will receive kinesiotaping, in addition to core stability exercise and myofascial release for 8 weeks

Other: Core stability exerciseOther: Myofascial releaseOther: Kinesiotaping

Interventions

Core stability exerciseOTHER

Lumbo-pelvic stabilizing exercises (posterior pelvic tilt, bilateral hip abduction, bilateral knee raise, bridging, hip shrugging) will be performed three times per week for eight weeks.

KinesiotapingOTHER

The participants will receive Kinesio-Taping over the sacroiliac joint and the hip region. Following a test trial of a small patch for 24 hours, they will be instructed to keep the tape on for 48 hours (it will be replaced after 48 hours) . It will be applied for 8 weeks.
