Brief Summary

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

Purpose of the study :

The purpose of the current study is investigating the effect of Blood Flow Restriction Training technique on postpartum pelvic girdle pain.

Detailed Description

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

This study is a randomized controlled trial. To fulfill its purpose, we have two groups; control group (A) and experimental group (B) are two matched postpartum pelvic girdle pain groups. While group (A) will receive a core stability exercise program, group (B) will receive core stability exercise program with blood flow restriction technique.

The primary outcome measure will be pelvic girdle pain intensity, while the secondary outcomes will include pelvic girdle-related disability, health-related quality of life, Kinesiophobia , global improvement and ASLR-RE angle.

Treatment duration will be eight weeks.
