“…Ao contrário do que foi encontrado neste trabalho, Benetti et al 4 , Franklin & Conner-Keer 34 e Bullock-Saxton 35 encontraram aumento significativo da curvatura lombar durante a gravidez. Porém, não há consenso na literatura sobre esta alteração, já que estudos [12][13][14]32 utilizando outros métodos de avaliação não encontraram aumento significativo nos graus da lordose lombar.…”

| The purpose of this study was to evaluate the magnitude of lumbar lordosis, its influence on lumbopelvic pain and quality of life in pregnant women. To this end, a study was done with 20 non-pregnant women (C) and 13 pregnant women during the trimesters of pregnancy (G1, G2 and G3). All women underwent initial assessment for registration of personal data, lifestyle, personal history, medications, gynecological and obstetric history. Later, the volunteers in the control group were evaluated once and pregnant women were evaluated at three different times, the first, second and third trimesters of pregnancy. The evaluation of the degree of lumbar lordosis was performed by a photogrammetric technique. The assessment of points/places of pain, the kind of pain and its intensity were made by McGill Pain Questionnaire, and the quality of life assessment was made by WHOQOL-bref. In this study, it was not possible to observe a pattern of change in lumbar curvature during pregnancy. There was also no relationship between lumbar curvature and lumbopelvic pain related to pregnancy.Keywords | pregnancy; spinal curvatures; low back pain.RESUMO | O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a magnitude da lordose lombar, sua influência na dor lombopélvica e a qualidade de vida em gestantes.

Todas as mulheres foram submetidas à avaliação inicial para registro dos dados pessoais, hábitos de vida, antecedentes pessoais, uso de medicamentos, história ginecológica e obstétri-ca. Posteriormente, as voluntárias do grupo controle foram avaliadas uma vez e as gestantes foram avaliadas em três momentos distintos, no 10, 20 e 30 trimestres gestacionais. A avaliação do grau de lordose lombar foi realizada por meio de técnica fotogramétrica; a avaliação de locais de dor, o tipo de dor e sua intensidade foram feitas por meio do Questionário McGill de dor; e a avaliação da qualidade de vida foi feita pelo Questionário WHOQOL-bref. Neste trabalho, não foi possível observar padrão de alteração da curvatura lombar no decorrer da gestação. Também não foi observada relação entre a curvatura lombar e a dor lombopélvica relacionada à gestação.Descritores | gravidez; curvaturas da coluna vertebral; dor lombar.Avaliação da lordose lombar e sua relação com a dor lombopélvica em gestantes Evaluation of lumbar lordosis and its relation to the lumbopelvic pain in pregnants

“…Some investigations have focused on static trunk posture [3,9]. The results remain unclear whether pain and postural changes are correlated [10][11][12][13]. The low back pain in pregnant women is characterized by axial or parasagittal musculoskeletal discomfort in the lower lumbar region [14].…”

“…The results are subdivided and asnamic motion rather than static posture. Gilleard et al [10] reported altered displacement and velocity parameters for the thoracic and head segments when rising from a chair suggesting differing movement strategies for each segment of the trunk as the pregnancy progressed. Functional changes that occur during pregnancy may cause mild pain/discomfort [1,11,15].…”

Objectives: Back pain is a common complaint of pregnant women. The posture, curvatures of the spine and the center of gravity changes are considered as the mechanisms leading to pain. The study aimed to assess spinal curvatures and static postural characteristics with three-dimensional surface topography and search for relationships with the occurrence of back pain complaints among pregnant women. Material and methods:The study was conducted from December 2012 to February 2014. Patients referred from University Clinic of Gynecology and Obstetrics were examined outpatient at the Posture Study Unit of Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology. Sixty-five women at 4-39 weeks of pregnancy were assessed and surveyed with Oswestry Disability Index; posture was evaluated using surface topography. Results:The study confirmed that difficulties in sitting and standing are significant in the third trimester of the pregnancy. The overall tendency for significant lumbar curvature changes in pregnant women was not confirmed. Major changes in sagittal trunk inclination in relation to the plumb line were not observed in the study group. Conclusions:The issue regarding how the pregnancy causes changes in spinal curvature and posture remains open for further studies. Presented method of 3D surface topography can reveal postural changes, but that requires several exams of each subject and strict follow-up of the series of cases.

“…As pregnancy progressed a companion paper (Gilleard et al, 2002b) showed that there was no significant linear or quadratic trend for change for the quiet sitting posture of the pelvis, thoracic and head segments nor the thoracolumbar spine. The participants rose to stand watching a standing eye level target at their preferred speed for three trials.…”
