An Analysis of Posture and Back Pain in the First and Third Trimesters of Pregnancy

Abstract: w omen commonly experience back pain during and after pregnancy. Incidence of back pain during pregnancy has been reported to range from 47 to 82% (3,6, 10,19,23-25). At the time of delivery, Ostgaard and Andersson (22) found that 67% of 817 pregnant women reported back pain directly after delivery and 37% experienced back pain 18 months postpartum.

“…Authors revealed no significant relationship between posture and back pain and the study did not support the frequently made assertions that back pain in pregnancy is due to an increase in lordosis [31]. Franklin et al [12] obtained similar results. In this study, the authors did not confirm the change of curvature of the spine.…”

“…Some investigations have focused on static trunk posture [3,9]. The results remain unclear whether pain and postural changes are correlated [10][11][12][13]. The low back pain in pregnant women is characterized by axial or parasagittal musculoskeletal discomfort in the lower lumbar region [14].…”

“…Immediately before heel strike, pregnant women extend more the knee and the respective ROM, while hip flexion increases [18,19], which in turn may be a consequence of an increased anterior pelvic tilt [9,19]. Other studies indicate that increased pelvic tilt is typically related with increased lumbar lordosis [27]. The same happens in the terminal swing where the knee is again more extended and the hip more flexed in PG.…”

“…Já Dumas et al encontraram correlação entre a dor e a curvatura lombar somente no primeiro trimestre 37 . O aumento da lordose lombar é muito citado como uma das causas da dor lombopélvica relacionada à gestação, porém, muitos estudos 33,34,38,39 não encontraram uma correlação forte entre estas variáveis. É possível que outros fatores expliquem melhor o aparecimento da dor QV1: Domínio físico; QV2: Domínio psicológico; QV3: Relações sociais; QV4: Meio ambiente.…”
