Summary

The relevance of this study is given by the feasibility to assess the effect of an intervention program based on the functionality and trunk neuromuscular activity and postural control in pregnant women with low back pain. The main outcomes will be computed by electromyography measurement so that to assess the trunk neuromuscular activation pattern as well as by force platform parameters for determining of postural control. Clinical symptoms such as pain intensity, perception of disability and fear and avoidance will also be computed. This is the first study to compare two intervention methods using the main biological outcomes related to trunk segment function.

Conditions

  • Pregnancy Complications
  • Low Back Pain

Interventions

OTHER

Specific exercises for lumbar stabilization

The Group 1 (G1) will perform therapy with specific exercises for lumbar stabilization whith the Swiss ball as a therapeutic resource, including warming; stretching of hamstrings, paraspinals, trapezes; phasic perineal exercise; tonic perineal exercise; pelvic lumbar synergism; trunk mobility; mobility of the shoulder girdle; balance; and slow pelvic balance.

OTHER

Conventional therapy

The Group 2 (G2) will perform conventional therapy including stretching of lower limbs and trunk, with passive stretching of hamstrings; gluteus maximus; piriform; paraspinals; lumbar square; latissimus dorsi; scalene; trapezius.
