About

The research will be conducted with healthy pregnant women who applied to the Ege University Gynecology and Obstetrics Department Polyclinic, and were referred to the Sports Medicine Department.The study will consist of two groups as the control group and the exercise group.Voluntary pregnant women who are not found to be inconvenient to do moderate-intensity exercise by the doctor will participate in the study.The study was planned as a randomized controlled and single-blind study.The participant's demographic information, obstetric assessment, physical activity level, fall history and pain assessment will be recorded.Foot plantar pressure, static and dynamic balance, center of pressure (COP), subtalar joint evaluation and gait evaluation will be measured by pedobarography at Ege University Orthopedics and Traumatology Department Gait Laboratory.The control group will be offered walking as recommended by ACOG for pregnant women.Clinical exercise training will be given to pregnant women in the study group by a specialist physiotherapist.

Full description

Pregnancy is a condition that includes many parameters.As the gestational week progresses and the fetus grows, changes are observed in the musculoskeletal system, hormonal system and other systems of the mother's body.Mechanical pain is observed in pregnant women with the expansion of the pelvis and the increase in the load on the lower extremities.The American Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) recommends physical activity and moderate-intensity exercises for a healthy pregnancy and delivery in pregnant women.Foot plantar pressure measurement is accepted in the literature as an objective measurement method in lower extremity biomechanical pain, static and dynamic balance.Evaluations will be made on day 0 and the day corresponding to the end of the 8th week.
