简要总结
PGP is referred to as a specific form of LBP which occurs isolatedly as well as in combination with lumbar back pain. PGP localized to the anterior or posterior pelvis, most commonly located between the posterior iliac crest and gluteal folds especially around the SI joint. Pelvic girdle pain radiated to the posterior thigh
详细描述
Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) is known to be a musculoskeletal disorders which affects the pelvic bone. PGP is referred to as a specific form of LBP which occurs isolatedly as well as in combination with lumbar back pain. PGP localized to the anterior or posterior pelvis, most commonly located between the posterior iliac crest and gluteal folds especially around the SI joint. Pelvic girdle pain radiated to the posterior thigh. Moreover, it can also cause pain in the symphysis (1). Compared to lower back pain, PGP is substantially more painful and linked with functional limitations as standing, walking, sitting and changing positions are less tolerable in such patients (2). PGP is musculoskeletal in nature and is not caused by gynecological or urological conditions (3). Despite the fact that the cause of PGP is unknown, it is considered that it occurs due to many reasons such as trauma, arthritis, anatomical fault or it can be associated with pregnancy (4

OSWESTRY DISABILITY INDEX
时间窗: 12 weeks
Oswestry Disability Index was calculated in order to find out the disability among patients. ODI evaluates disability related to Activities of Daily Living. This is considered to be the best tool for evaluating low back issues. It encompasses 10 questions with each question scoring five. Questions related to pain, personal care, walking, standing, lifting, sitting, sex life, sleeping, social life and travelling are included. The interpretation shows minimal disability if the patient score is 0-20%, moderate disability if the score is 20-40%, 40 - 60% severe disability, 60 - 80% crippled and 80 - 100 % depicting that the patient is either bed bound or overly expressing the symptoms
SF - 36
时间窗: 12 weeks
This questionnaire is used to assess the functional performance in different domains of life like physical, body pain, mental, social and psychological. The questionnaire encompasses questions based on 7 domains of life. The minimum score of SF-36 is 0 which means that the functional performance is worst whereas the highest score is 100 which means that functional performance is best
VISUAL ANALOGUE SCALE
时间窗: 12 weeks
Visual Analogue scale is a numeric scale ranging from 1 to 10. These ranges show the intensity of pain where 1 shows no pain and 10 shows worst pain imaginations. It is a very reliable and valid tool with test-retest reliability of r = 0.96 and validity correlations of 0.86 to 0.95.
