Summary

About 45% of pregnant women and 25% of women postpartum suffer from Pelvic girdle pain. Pain is often reported to be localized between costal margin and gluteal fold with or without radiation to lower limb or symphysis pubic. Kinesio taping (KT) is the application of an elastic tape, for treating musculoskeletal conditions through enhancing muscle strength, relieving spasms, pain and edema, improving blood circulation and lymph reflux, as well as stabilizing joints. However, with limited evidence and a lack of well-designed study, the effects of KT in postpartum women with PGP remains unclear. Compared with KT, the dynamic taping(DT) is recently developed and has stronger elastic resistance and recoil. The DT may have better effects than the KT, although this notion has not been examined. In this study, we make a hypothesis that PGP women in the DT group would have better improvements on pain, disability, quality of life, and PFM functions than that in the KT group and control group.
