Study Overview
Brief Summary
The present study aims to assess the effectiveness of pelvic stabilization exercises on selected maternal and fetal outcomes among antenatal women with pelvic girdle pain in a hospital setting of Anand district, Gujarat. Pelvic girdle pain is a common musculoskeletal problem during pregnancy, often leading to reduced mobility, compromised physical activity, and adverse effects on maternal comfort and well-being. The study will evaluate the impact of a structured pelvic stabilization exercise program on biophysiological parameters (such as blood pressure, heart rate, and weight), intensity of pelvic girdle pain, level of physical activity, and feto-maternal outcomes. A randomized controlled design will be adopted, with antenatal women allocated to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive a pelvic stabilization exercise regimen in addition to routine antenatal care, while the control group will receive routine antenatal care only. Outcomes will be measured at baseline and at specified follow-up intervals using validated tools and obstetric records. It is anticipated that the findings will provide evidence for incorporating pelvic stabilization exercise as a safe and effective non-pharmacological intervention to improve maternal health, functional activity, and pregnancy outcomes.
