Effect of Pelvic Proprioception Training on Low Back Pain and Functional Mobility in Multiparous women : A Randomized Controlled Trial

This randomized controlled trial investigates the effect of pelvic proprioception training on low back pain and functional mobility in multiparous women with chronic low back pain. Fifty multiparous women with pain persisting for more than six months postpartum were randomly allocated into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group received pelvic proprioception and pelvic floor–based exercises along with conventional physiotherapy, while the control group received conventional physiotherapy alone. Pain intensity was assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and functional mobility was evaluated using the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) before and after the intervention. The study aims to determine whether pelvic proprioception training provides superior improvement in pain reduction and functional mobility compared to conventional treatment. The findings are intended to support evidence-based physiotherapy interventions for chronic low back pain in multiparous women.
