Brief Summary

this study will be conducted to determine the impact of postural balance changes on low back pain during pregnancy

Conditions

Pregnancy; Low Back Pain

Keywords

postural balance; low back pain; pregnacy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• balance

  The Biodex Balance System SD will be used to assess balance.higher values indicate more deviations and poor balance control.

  up to thirty four weeks

• pressure pain threshold

  digital pressure algometer from Wagner Instruments will be used to assess pressure pain threshol.The algometer was set to measure at a rate of 100 readings per second and always displayed the highest pressure measured. The round attachment surface had a diameter of 1.12 cm. Newton (N) was set as the unit of measurement on the device. Later, it was converted to kilopascals (kPa) to enable comparability with other studies

  up to thirty four weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• pain intensity

  up to thirty four weeks
