Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of kinesiotaping on pelvic girdle pain in postpartum women.
Detailed Description:
Pregnancy-related pain in the SIJ, lumbosacral region, pubic symphysis, or in any combination of these joints has been coined as pelvic girdle pain (PGP) and has been estimated to affect almost half of all pregnant women. Women with PGP have an increased risk of prenatal anxiety, depressive symptoms and postpartum depression compared with healthy pregnant women.
Kinesio Taping is rehabilitative technique used to facilitate the body's natural healing process while providing support and stability to muscles and joints, without restricting their range of motion. Enhanced rehabilitation is thought to be the effect of stimulated reactivation, proprioceptive training, reduced pain, stimulation of correct movement patterns, and reduction of muscle imbalance.
Kinesio Taping (KT) method has been used to decrease and prevent pain in women suffering from pregnancy related low back pain because of increased muscle relaxation while taping is applied. However, there is lack of knowledge regarding the effect of kinesiotaping on PGP in postpartum women.
Therefore, this study will be conducted to provide physiotherapists with a scientific updated knowledge, concerning the effect of kinesiotaping on pain, level of disability and lumbar flexion and extension ROM in pelvic girdle pain in postpartum women, aiming to improve ADLs of postpartum women. This study may expand the role of physiotherapy in women's health
