Postpartum Pain
Conditions
Keywords
Pelvic girdle Pain, lumbopelvic angles, pelvic parameters, and temporomandibular joint disorders.
Brief summary
Research suggests that changes in pelvic alignment during the perinatal period are the primary cause of pelvic girdle pain (PGP), both perinatally and postnatally. Researchers also report an association between temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) and changes in lumbopelvic alignment. There are, however, no reports investigating temporomandibular joint disorders or changes in biomechanical alignment among women with postpartum pelvic girdle pain.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| body mass index | 3 months | BMI in kg/m\^2 |
| Pelvic tilt in degrees: | 3 months | The blocks are released and the rods are placed over the crest of the ilium. The blocks are then pressed firmly toward the midline. Read the angle from the level. If the gauge reads over 21/2°, the result is listed as positive.Anterior pelvic tilting angle: PALM was used for measuring pelvic tilting angle. A mark was put on a point just inferior to ASIS; another mark was put just inferior to PSIS. The callipers of the PALM were put on these two points |
| jaw movement | 3 months | lateral deviation mouth opening (MIO): From sitting position, with the use of the calliper, the distance between the incisal edges along the midline of the upper and lower central incisors without pain was measured, by placing one end of the poley gauge against the incisal edge of one of the upper central incisors, and the other end against the incisal edge of the opposing lower incisor. The distance recorded in millimeters, the subjects was instructed to open your mouth as wide as possible without causing pain or discomfort. The poley gauge was sterilized with antiseptic solution before and after each measure |
| Spinal curves Measurement | 3 months | lumber angle-pelvic inclination by mm |
| Satisfaction assessed by the VAS | 3 months | Degrees of pain will be assessed using a VAS, which was a method of representing subjects' pain on a 10 cm linear scale. Score of 0 meant 'no pain' and 10 meant 'worst pain'. Tomeasure specific symptoms, such as the s |
