Musculoskeletal Care
September 2023
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the prevalence, main features, and risk factors of lower back pain (LBP) in pregnant women during their third trimester.
- Out of 173 participants, 62.4% experienced LBP, with a significant link to prior LBP history in previous pregnancies and jobs requiring prolonged standing.
- Findings suggest that while a history of LBP and a sedentary lifestyle increase risk, gestational complications and proper rest may serve as protective factors against LBP during pregnancy.
