The Efficacy of Ergonomic Intervention in Preventing Musculoskeletal Disorders Among Women After Giving Birth

NCT04244279 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2021-06-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The woman's body undergoes many physiological changes during pregnancy, which can cause muscle weakness and postpartum joint instability. In addition, the intensive care of the baby sometimes involves extreme body postures and mechanical loading on the hands, which are considered as ergonomic risk factors. Therefore, postpartum women may be particularly vulnerable to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). As far as we know, there is no evidence-based intervention on this issue.
