Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aimed to address whether a water exercise programme improves pain and quality of life in pregnant patients with Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) compared to a land-based exercise programme and the feasibility of undertaking a large-scale research programme.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study aimed to address whether a water exercise programme improves pain and quality of life in pregnant patients with Pelvic Girdle Pain (PGP) compared to a land-based exercise programme and the feasibility of undertaking a large-scale research programme. Twenty-three participants with diagnosed PGP, recruited at St George's Hospital London, were randomised into two groups (water or land exercise). Each group received, four, once-weekly exercise sessions on land or water. Exercise effects on PGP were measured using a variety of outcome measures. Outcomes were assessed at baseline and post four weeks exercise.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Water Exercise + advice

Each group undertook four, once weekly exercise sessions (including a warm up, cool down, relaxation, pelvic control and stability exercise). Both programmes focused on similar exercise and muscle groups, but due to the aquatic medium programmes were unable to be exactly matched.
