Brief Summary

Core stability training has gained popularity as a fitness trend and is now being used in rehabilitation programs as well the patient adherence to this intervention has been low due to its complex nature, particularly pregnant females .Limited literature is available to present the effect of core stabilization exercises in comparison to the other handful simplified techniques and exercises This study compares two interventions for this particular condition to identify a feasible and enjoyable therapeutic intervention for the pregnant women who suffer Lumbopelvic Pain.

Detailed Description

This is a randomized control trial to compare the effects of core stabilization versus generalized antenatal exercises for lumbopelvic pain in pregnant women. Females meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into three groups by convenient sampling technique. A sample size of 48 females with 16 females in each group. Group A will be treated by core stability exercises and group B will be treated by generalized antenatal exercises and group C will receive basic antenatal education. Group A and B will have three treatment sessions per week for 4 weeks. Females will be evaluated at baseline and 2nd and 4th week . Females will be screened by Patricks faber test, piriformis /FAIR test, p4/posterior pelvic pain provocation test and assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS) and pregnant women quality of life questionnaire (QOL- GRAV).
