摘要

Introduction: The emergence of painful pathologies during gestation, such as lumbopelvic pain (LPP), can influence in the achievement of functional activities, such as sit-to-stand, throughout the gestational period. Objective: To compare the variables of static and dynamic postural balance (sit-to-stand activity) among pregnant women with and whitout lumbopelvic pain and the outcome variables between the gestational trimesters. Method: A total of 100 pregnant women participated in this study allocated as follows: 51 in the LPP group and 49 in the group without LPP. All participants were subjected to an evaluation protocol: filling an identification form, Analogic Visual Scale (AVS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Evaluation of postural balance was subsequently performed using the Balance Master System ? . Results: 64.7% of women during the third trimester of pregnancy reported LPP. No statistically significant differences were found between LBP presence or absence in postural balance variables (p0.05). However, gestational age influenced the VFEC variable (p=0.001). Conclusion: Women during the third gestational trimester presented complaints of lumbopelvic pain. However, the data acquired suggest that women with LPP do not have alterations in postural balance during sit-to-stand movement when compared to pregnant women without pain.
