Biomechanical and Viscoelastic Properties of Thoracolumbar Fascia in Pregnant Women-Pilot Study

NCT05335330 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 145

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Pregnancy causes the development of biomechanical adaptations in the musculoskeletal system, especially in the lumbopelvic region. In this context, the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) is the most important structure in this region and is an exoskeleton for the muscles of the lumbar region. However, it has not been objectively clarified how the TLF adapts to the changes in the lumbopelvic region during pregnancy. Therefore, the aim of this pilot study is to investigate the trimester-specific biomechanical (stiffness, decrement and tone) and viscoelastic (creep and relaxation time) properties of the TLF, which adapts to the lumbopelvic region changes in pregnant women.

Conditions

  • Pregnant Women
  • First Pregnancy

Interventions

OTHER

Evaluation of biomechanics and viscoelastic properties of Thoracolumbar fascia

The biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of the Thoracolumbar fascia will be measured in the side line position. Measurements will be taken from three different points; L1, L3-4 and L5 level.
