Biomechanical and Viscoelastic Properties of Thoracolumbar Fascia in Pregnancy Pelvic Girdle Pain
Sponsor: Sultan Abdulhamid Han Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey
Summary
It has not been objectively clarified how the thoracolumbar fascia (TLF) changes the biomechanical adaptations that occur in the lumbopelvic region during pregnancy and whether it is associated with pelvic girdle pain (PGP). Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine the biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of TLF, which adapts to the changes in the lumbopelvic region in pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain, and to investigate its relationship with PGP.
