Intended effects leading to the improvement of movement analysis and therapy

After completing this lesson, you will be familiar with:

• The straight leg raising test is used to identify nerve root pain in pregnant population with a particular focus on safe practice, as well as using range of motion and neurological examination to identify areas for improving.

• Faber-Patrick test, Gaenslen’s test and sacroiliac compression test are used to evaluate pathologies in the sacroiliac joint.

• During the second trimester of pregnancy, it is generally safe to perform low-impact exercises, such as  stretching exercises, pelvic tilt and bridge building exercises, shoulder rolling exercises, kegel exercises, straight leg rising and side lying leg lifts exercises, squat / split squat exercises, bird dog exercises.

• During the postpartum period it is generally safe to perform exercises, such as neutral spine excercise, knee pull excercise, dead bug excercise, stability-ball hamstring curl  exercise.

In this lesson, you will learn how to increase the flexibility, improve muscle strength, and increase the physical activity level of a prepartum woman in the second trimester and postpartum woman who has low back pain. It is worth knowing the physiological and clinical symptoms of low back pain in pregnancy (they will find this information in the e-textbook). Participants should have biomechanical bases affecting muscle strength, flexibility, spine mobility, also pelvic floor muscles, biomechanics, and lumbopelvic anatomy, physiology.
