The Study Focuses on the Release of the Iliolumbar Ligament Using a Pumped Technique, Addressing Its Tightness Caused by Excessive Anterior Pelvic Tilt During Pregnancy. This Condition Often Results in Low Back Pain and Mechanical Dysfunction of the Lumbar and Sacroiliac Regions.

Effect of Pumped Technique for Ilio-lumber Ligament Release on Postnatal Low Back Pain

The iliolumbar ligament, one of the sacroiliac ligaments, has been identified in recent research as a contributor to low back pain when tight. During pregnancy, hormonal changes and postural changes can cause this ligament to tighten, leading to pain. Releasing the iliolumbar ligament can reduce low back pain and restore normal mechanical function.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Visual analog scale (VAS):
Time Frame: 8 weeks
It will be used to assess the severity of low back pain in women from both groups A and B before and after treatment. The scoring ranges from 1, indicating the least pain and discomfort, to 10, representing the most severe pain and discomfort.
8 weeks
Goniometer
Time Frame: 8 weeks
It will be used to assess lumbar flexion range of motion for each woman in both groups A and B before and after treatment.
8 weeks
Inclinometer
Time Frame: 8 weeks
It will be used to assess lumbar curvature for each woman in both groups A and B before and after treatment.
8 weeks
