About this trial

The goal of this comparative cross-sectional study is to learn about the effects of gestational diabetes on lumbopelvic stability in primigravida subjects. The main question it aims to answer is:

Does gestational diabetes effect lumbopelvic stability during pregnancy?

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Visual Analog Scale (VAS)

The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a simple tool used to measure subjective pain intensity.It consists of a 10-cm (100-mm) horizontal line. 0 = No pain 10 (or 100 mm) = Worst pain imaginable The participant marks a point on the line representing their current pain intensity. The distance from 0 to the participant's mark is measured and recorded as the pain score.

Time frame
12th week
2

Active Straight Leg Raise

The Active Straight Leg Raise (ASLR) test is a clinical test used to assess lumbopelvic load transfer and functional stability of the pelvis. The participant lies supine with both legs straight. They actively raise one straight leg approximately 20 cm off the examination surface without bending the knee. Difficulty or inability to perform the movement may indicate impaired lumbopelvic stability/load transfer. It can be scored using a 0-5 difficulty scale, where higher scores indicate greater difficulty.

Time frame
12th week
3

Y-Balance Test (YBT)

The Y-Balance Test is a dynamic balance test used to assess postural control, functional stability, and lower-extremity/lumbopelvic control. It requires the participant to maintain a single-leg stance while reaching the opposite leg in three directions: Anterior Posteromedial Posterolateral The reach distances are recorded and can be normalized to leg length to calculate a composite score.
