“…LBP in pregnancy is exacerbated by the softening of the ligaments and joints of the lumbosacrum occasioned by the elevated progesterone and relaxin amongst others in pregnancy (Mac Evilly and Buggy, 1996;Kristiansson et al, 1996;Ayanniyi et al, 2006;Endresen, 1995;Ostgaard, 1996;Darry et al, 2007). Movements across these joints can become very painful particularly in pregnancy; this is worsened by the exaggerated lordosis of pregnancy, increased load on the lower spine and the upper femoral heads (Joanne et al, 1987).…”

“…It was thought that following the birth, a woman's posture returns to the way that it was in pre-pregnancy. However, some studies have shown that the posture after pregnancy is not significantly different to the posture developed during the later stage of pregnancy (Mac Evilly and Buggy, 1996;Kristiansson et al, 1996;Ayanniyi et al, 2006;Endresen, 1995;Darry et al, 2007).…”

“…The incidence of some degree of back pain during pregnancy is relatively high. Researchers worldwide have suggested it may be between 30 and 70% (Kristiansson et al, 1996;Ayanniyi et al, 2006;Endresen, 1995;Ostgaard, 1996). The cause of back pain during pregnancy remains debatable and often there are several factors involved (Darry et al, 2007).…”

This study aimed at determining the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) and to ascertain its impact on physical dysfunction and work performance among pregnant women. A total of 200 pregnant women attending antenatal care clinics at three health facilities in Ilorin had a 29-item semi-structured questionnaire administered on them. Variables relating to the LBP obtained included frequency, duration and severity of the pain, effect of posture on pain, physical dysfunction experienced during the painful episode, effect on work performance as well as the treatment options sought for the relief of the LBP. There are slightly more (55.4%) pregnant women who experience LBP than those who did not. LBP is most common at both extremes of reproductive age group (p<0.005) and associated with absenteeism (p<0.005) and tended to be posture related and affected work schedules (p<0.005). More pregnant women who suffered LBP sought treatment with the gynaecologists than the physiotherapists. LBP is most common in pregnancy than outside pregnancy. LBP often causes considerable physical dysfunction, poor work performance and absenteeism. Collaboration between obstetricians and physiotherapists need to be further improved upon.

“…Like many other studies on prevalence of lower back pain, the present study included only people who were able to read and understand the local language (Hindi) [5,10,14]. Considering the previous literature available, we excluded the housewives who were engaged in any sort of occupational activity other than household work, and also those who were pregnant or diagnosed with diabetes or neurological, cardiovascular or psychiatric disorders [6,[15][16][17][18][19]. Housewives with tumor, infection, or any major trauma to the spine causing fracture were also excluded from study [20].…”

Objectives: Housewives are nucleus of families but as the working, living, and social architecture in the rural areas significantly differ from developed or urban area, the results of urban population cannot be generalized. Hence the purpose of the present study is to evaluate the prevalence of low back pain in non working rural housewives. Also an attempt has been made to determine the impact of social burden on low back pain (LBP). Material and Methods: A sample of 301 non working rural housewives of Kanpur, aged between 30-70 years was selected. Hindi version of 3 appropriate scales Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire, Oswestry disability index and Zarit burden interview measuring musculoskeletal discomfort, low back disability and social burden were given to all the housewives. Results: Analysis of data reveals that both recent and yearly prevalence of LBP in rural housewives is 83%. More than 50% housewives have severe disability due to their LBP. Correlational analysis has shown that there is a significant impact of social burden on their disability due to low back pain. Conclusions: The findings of the present study suggest that 83% of the non working rural housewives have low back pain and activity restriction due to their pain. They have significant impact of social burden on their low back pain. High prevalence (83%) of low back pain among rural housewives is an alarming sign for our society. Better health-care measures to enhance rural housewives education about good posture, ergonomic measures, health schemes, health awareness, and activity pacing could help rural housewives.

“…These changes include weight gain, changes in posture, weakness of joints and ligaments and musculotendinous stretch [1]. The incidence of back pain in pregnant women is very high, about 30-70% [2][3][4][5]. It is also found that 31.7% of pregnant women have pubic symphysis pain.…”

This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of effleurage and abdominal lifting massage against a decrease in pain in pregnant women. A total of 36 pregnant women would divided into two groups, i.e. control group (untreated group) and effleurage and abdominal lifting group (group who would undertake efflurage and abdominal lifting massage exercise). The pain assessment was carried out by using a numerical rating scale. In the intervention group, a combination of effleurage massage and abdominal massage was applied simultaneously lifting any contraction in the active phase (2-3 minutes) for 60 minutes. The reduction in the value of pain was found to be significantly greater in the group of pregnant women who undertook effleurage and abdominal lifting massage workout (p < 0.05). In conclusion, the results of this study showed that effleurage and abdominal lifting massage is an effective, healthy, and feasible method in reducing pain in the third trimester of pregnancy. Thus, this method is one of the workout alternatives to suppress the pain in the third trimester of pregnancy.
