Factors Associated With Disability in Postpartum Lumbopelvic Pain

3. september 2026 opdateret af: Seda Saka, Halic University

Clinical, Biomechanical, Psychological, and Biochemical Factors Associated With Functional Disability in Women With Postpartum Lumbopelvic Pain: A Cross-Sectional Study

Postpartum lumbopelvic pain may affect functional ability, daily activities, physical performance, psychological well-being, and health-related quality of life. The aim of this observational cross-sectional study is to investigate clinical, biomechanical, psychological, and biochemical factors associated with functional disability in women with postpartum lumbopelvic pain.

Approximately 45 women aged 18 to 50 years who are 6 to 15 months postpartum and have persistent low back pain and/or pelvic girdle pain will be enrolled. General functional disability will be assessed using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and pelvic-girdle-specific symptoms and activity limitations will be assessed using the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire (PGQ). Pain intensity during activity, at rest, and at night will be evaluated using visual analogue scales (VAS).

Psychological status will be evaluated using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS), and health-related quality of life will be assessed using the physical and mental component scores of the 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). Biomechanical assessments will include diastasis recti abdominis and trunk muscle endurance using flexor endurance, extensor endurance, prone plank, right side-plank, and left side-plank tests.

Mode of delivery will also be recorded. Biochemical evaluation will include circulating C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and cortisol. The study will examine the relationships between functional disability and these clinical, biomechanical, psychological, and biochemical variables.

Detaljeret beskrivelse

This observational cross-sectional study is designed to comprehensively evaluate clinical, biomechanical, psychological, and biochemical factors associated with functional disability in women with postpartum lumbopelvic pain.

Women aged 18 to 50 years who are between 6 and 15 months postpartum and have experienced persistent low back pain and/or pelvic girdle pain for at least three months will be screened for eligibility. Participants meeting the predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria will undergo a standardized clinical assessment.

General functional disability will be evaluated using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Pelvic-girdle-specific symptoms and activity limitations will be assessed using the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire (PGQ). Pain intensity will be evaluated separately during activity, at rest, and at night using 0-100 mm visual analogue scales (VAS).

Psychological status will be assessed using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). Health-related quality of life will be evaluated using the physical and mental component scores of the 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12).

Biomechanical assessment will include evaluation of diastasis recti abdominis and trunk muscle endurance. Diastasis recti abdominis will be assessed during an abdominal curl-up. Trunk endurance will be evaluated using flexor endurance, extensor endurance, prone plank, right side-plank, and left side-plank tests. Mode of delivery will also be recorded.

Biochemical assessment will include circulating C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and cortisol. Blood samples will be obtained at approximately 10:00 a.m. and analyzed by specialist biochemistry personnel.

The primary objective of the study is to examine the relationship between functional disability and clinical, biomechanical, psychological, and biochemical factors. Additional analyses will investigate associations among ODI, PGQ, pain intensity, EPDS, SF-12 physical and mental health scores, trunk endurance, diastasis recti status, mode of delivery, and circulating biomarkers.
