“…Most studies have not described the pain location within the lumbopelvic region [19,20,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][32][33][34][35]. As per the literature, about 60% of studies have not mentioned the site of lower back pain [4].…”

“…The majority of studies did not outline a well-defined pain location within the lumbopelvic region (Table 4). Pain intensity and disability associated with pain [19][20][21][22][23][26][27][28][29]32,33], were assessed through standardized questionnaires. Some authors prepared questionnaires to identify the duration, history, location, radiation to legs, aggravating or relieving factors, and any previous treatment/investigations.…”

In general, women appear to report lumbopelvic pain (LPP) more frequently. In addition to the biomechanical risks, this systematic review aimed to identify the add-on biopsychosocial implications of LPP among women in the Indian community. PubMed, ScienceDirect, Web of Science, PEDro, and Google Scholar were searched twice from inception to a final systematic literature search in December 2022. All studies addressing Indian women with LPP were selected. Studies on non-musculoskeletal LPP were excluded. Qualities of non-experimental and experimental research articles were assessed through the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist and Cochrane risk of bias criteria for Effective Practice and Organization of Care reviews respectively. Data synthesis was narrative as the selected studies differed substantially. Habitual squatting, kneeling, and continuous sitting were identified as ergonomic risks to LPP. Menopause, cesarean, and multiple deliveries influence the onset of LPP among women. There is a severe deficit in data about the musculoskeletal implications of LPP. There are insufficient data present to summarize the biopsychosocial risks of LPP. Even the exact anatomical sites of LPP were not described in most articles. Due to the severe scarcity of data, there is an alarming need to explore the musculoskeletal as well as psychosocial consequences of LPP in Indian women. Among rural women, LPP was common in those working as laborers; which are physically robust jobs with respect to strength and anthropometrics of women. Domestic chores in India involve a lot of manual work; placing unequal loads on the lumbar spine, eventually resulting in LPP. Therefore ergonomic strategies for women should be designed to meet the needs and demands of their respective occupations as well as domestic chores.

“…If not treated surgically or with exercise, it may also persist into menopause (5). Changes in the connective tissue elasticity due to aging and stretching of the abdominal muscles because of hormonal changes due to menopause may help explain why DRA has developed (30). In this study, the tested sample was having SUI.…”

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) in postmenopausal women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods: 385 postmenopausal women complaining of SUI joined the study from Maghagha General Hospital/ El-Minia, Egypt. Their age ranged from 45-60 years and their body mass index (BMI) ranged from 25-35 kg/m 2 . Only women with proven SUI, confirmed by cough stress test, were included in the study. Demographic data for each woman, including BMI, waist/hip ratio, (WHR), and the years since the last menstrual cycle were recorded. The magnitude and frequency of the urine loss were recorded through a set of questions. The measurements of inter-rectus distance were done by finger width test and abdominal ultrasonography. DRA identification was based on the presence of separation ≥ 20 mm at any level (supra umbilical / umbilical) in abdominal ultrasonography. Results: Only 200 postmenopausal women were included out of 385 women. The prevalence of DRA among postmenopausal women with SUI was 79.5% (95% Confidence interval (CI) of 73.37-84.51%) based on abdominal ultrasonography. There was a significant increase (p = 0.006)* in the prevalence of DRA in obese compared to overweight patients, and in patients with a WHR of 0.97-1.3, compared to patients with a WHR of 0.82-0.96 (p = 0.02)*. There was no significant association (p = 0.56) between DRA and the years since last menstrual cycle. Regarding SUI parameters, there was a statistically significant association (P<0.05) of DRA with both the amount of urine loss (p = 0.001)* and the times of involuntary loss of urine (p = 0.001)*. Conclusion: DRA appears to be prevalent in Egyptian postmenopausal women with SUI. Also, DRA prevalence could be affected by the patient's BMI and WHR.
