Brief Summary

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

Pelvic girdle pain is frequently experienced in pregnant women and the mechanism of pelvic girdle pain is not known exactly. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of plantar fascia on pelvic girdle pain in pregnant women.

Study Groups

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

Group 1: pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain

This group will consist of pregnant women who are in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy and have pelvic girdle pain.

Evaluation of biomechanics and viscoelastic properties of plantar fascia

Intervention Type OTHER

The biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of the plantar fascia will be measured in the side lying position.

Measurements will be made with the ankle in neutral position and maximum dorsi flexion position.

Evaluation of navıcular drop

Intervention Type OTHER

The amount of navicular drop of both feet will be measured

Evaluation of plantar pressure distrubution

Intervention Type OTHER

The distribution of foot plantar pressure and the amount of change in the center of gravity will be measured in the free standing position.

Group 2:pregnant women without pelvic girdle pain

This group will consist of pregnant women who are in the 2nd or 3rd trimester of pregnancy but have not pelvic girdle pain.

Evaluation of biomechanics and viscoelastic properties of plantar fascia

Intervention Type OTHER

The biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of the plantar fascia will be measured in the side lying position.

Measurements will be made with the ankle in neutral position and maximum dorsi flexion position.

Evaluation of navıcular drop

Intervention Type OTHER

The amount of navicular drop of both feet will be measured

Evaluation of plantar pressure distrubution

Intervention Type OTHER

The distribution of foot plantar pressure and the amount of change in the center of gravity will be measured in the free standing position.

Group 3: healthy women

This group will consist of healthy women who have not been pregnant.

Evaluation of biomechanics and viscoelastic properties of plantar fascia

Intervention Type OTHER

The biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of the plantar fascia will be measured in the side lying position.

Measurements will be made with the ankle in neutral position and maximum dorsi flexion position.

Intervention Type OTHER

The amount of navicular drop of both feet will be measured

Evaluation of plantar pressure distrubution

Intervention Type OTHER
