“…The role of hormonal and biomechanical changes during pregnancy have been discussed including muscle function Sihvonen et al 1998;Noren et al 2002;Gutke et al 2008a). The three non-specific lumbopelvic pain subgroups in pregnancy, lumbar pain, PGP, and combined pain have shown important differences regarding disability, pain intensity, health, depressive symptoms and different courses (Gutke et al 2006;Gutke et al 2007;Gutke et al 2008b).…”

“…After screening all titles and abstracts eight studies were found which addressed the inclusion and exclusion criteria [15,[45][46][47][48][49][50][51]. In addition to these, two more articles were found after hand searching [52,53].…”

“…In total, six studies reported the relationship between PPGP and pelvic mobility [15,45,[51][52][53][54] and four studies reported the relationship between motor control and PPGP [47][48][49][50]. Among them, seven were considered as case control [15,45,46,49,50,52,53] and three as cohort studies [47,48,51].…”

Is pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain associated with altered kinematic, kinetic and motor control of the pelvis? A systematic review

Purpose To determine the level of evidence for altered mechanical and motor control of the pelvis being associated with pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PPGP). Methods This systematic review was undertaken by following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Six different databases were used for the electronic search. Observational cohorts, cross sectional or case-control studies focused on the association between altered kinematic/kinetic and motor control of the pelvis and PPGP during pregnancy were included. Study selection was conducted by two reviewers who firstly screened for titles, then for abstracts and finally for full articles. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale and the guidelines proposed by the Cochrane back review group were used to assess risk of bias and quality of evidence, respectively. Results 354 references were identified, and after excluding unwanted articles, 10 studies met the final inclusion criteria. Studies not related to motor control or pelvic mobility were the main reason for exclusion. Seven studies were case-control and three were prospective cohort studies. Seven studies were ranked as high while three were ranked as low quality. Among the high quality studies, six found association between PPGP and altered motor control and mobility of the pelvis.Conclusions The level of evidence for an association between PPGP and altered motor control and kinematic or kinetic parameters of the pelvis was found to be moderate.
