“…Many researchers have identified laxity as a contributing factor in pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain, 27,28 low back pain, 29 and knee pain, 26,[30][31][32][33][34] although direct evidence is lacking. Although the hormonal basis for laxity has been questioned, laxity itself is a wellestablished phenomenon that deserves further attention, especially in relation to short-and long-term maternal health consequences of occupational lifting and other physical job demands.…”

Empirically based lifting criteria established by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) to reduce the risk of overexertion injuries in the general US working population were evaluated for application to pregnant workers. This report proposes criteria to guide decisions by medical providers about permissible weights for lifting tasks performed at work over the course of an uncomplicated pregnancy. Our evaluation included an extensive review of the literature linking occupational lifting to maternal and fetal health. Although it has been 29 years since the American Medical Association's Council on Scientific Affairs published its report on the Effects of Pregnancy on Work Performance, these guidelines continue to influence clinical decisions and workplace policies. Provisional clinical guidelines derived from the NIOSH lifting criteria that account for recent evidence for maternal and fetal health are presented and aim to improve the standard of care for pregnant workers. Keywordslifting; occupational hazard; pregnancy; recommendations Clinicians play an important role in decisions concerning work activity restrictions during pregnancy. This role is underscored in the United States where federal regulations for occupational lifting are lacking and limited opportunities for paid antenatal leave are available. 1,2 Findings from a recent survey show that recommendations to pregnant workers in physically demanding jobs vary widely, possibly because of limited clinician training in occupational health 3 and the absence of current authoritative guidelines. 4 The views expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health or the official policy or position of the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, the Department of Defense, or the United States Government.The authors report no conflict of interest.Reprints not available from the authors.

PPSO genellikle ilk gebeliğin son üç aylık döneminde (%40) veya doğum sonrası puerperal dönemde (%60) görülen bel, sırt ağrısı, vertebral kompresyon kırıklarına bağlı boyda kısalma ve kifoz semptomları ile karakterize bir hastalıktır.…”

Postpartum spinal osteoporosis (PPSO) is a rare form of osteoporosis related to pregnancy. It generally appears within the last trimester of pregnancy or postpartum period of the first child. The most common symptoms are low back pain, dorsalgia, loss of height due to vertebral compression fractures and kyphosis. Herein we aimed to draw attention to a case with PPSO, presenting with low back pain and vertebral fracures after postpartum period of the first child. While PPSO is an uncommon and rare disease, it should be considered in differential diagnosis of low back pain because of it's great impact on the physical and psychological health and on the quality of life of pregnant and lactating women and possible negative influence to the development of a normal relationship between mother and child. (Turkish Journal of Osteoporosis 2014;20: 26-8) Postpartum spinal osteoporoz (PPSO) gebelikle ilişkili nadir görülen bir osteoporoz tablosudur. Genellikle ilk gebeliğin son üç aylık döneminde veya puerperal dönemde görülen bel, sırt ağrısı, vertebral kompresyon kırıklarına bağlı boyda kısalma ve kifoz semptomları ile karakterizedir. Burada ilk gebeliğinden sonraki postpartum dönemde bel ağrısı ve vertebralarda kompresyon kırıkları olan bir olguyla PPSO tablosuna dikkat çekmeyi amaçladık. Gebelikle ilişkili PPSO, bel ağrısının sıra dışı, ender bir nedeni olmakla birlikte laktasyon dönemindeki kadının fiziksel ve psikolojik sağlığı ve yaşam kalitesi üzerindeki büyük etkisi, anne-bebek arasındaki ilişkinin gelişimi üzerine olası olumsuz etkileri nedeniyle ayrıcı tanıda göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.

En sık görülen semptomlar bel ağrısı ve vertebral kompresyon fraktürlerine bağlı boy kısalmasıdır. Gebeliğin son döneminde veya doğumdan hemen sonra görülür. Doğum sonrası dönemde bel ağrısı ile baş-vuran iki olgumuzu sunarak bel ağrısı nedenleri içinde nadir görülen bu duruma dikkat çekmeyi amaçladık. Abs tractPostpartum spinal osteoporosis (PPSO) is a rare condition characterized by osteoporosis associated with pregnancy. The most common symptoms are low back pain and loss of height due to vertebral compression fractures. It is observed in the last trimester of pregnancy or subsequent to delivery. Herein; we report 2 cases of PPSO who presented with low back pain in the postpartum period, aiming to draw attention to this unusual cause of low back pain. (Turk J Rheumatol 2010; 25: 47-9)
