“…Supervised exercise and water gymnastics carried out during the second half of pregnancy can significantly reduce LBP [7,12] and decrease sick-leave during pregnancy [8]. Shim et al [9] recommended good posture and regular exercise as a method of reducing LBP.…”

Abstract. OBJECTIVES:This study investigated the self-reported prevalence and impact of low back pain (LBP) during pregnancy in primiparous and multiparous women, and their treatment-seeking rationales and experiences, including their use of physiotherapy. METHODS: A sample of 105 post-partum women was recruited. All participants answered a questionnaire; women who experienced LBP during pregnancy (n = 71) continue in the study and later they were also interviewed. Content analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. RESULTS: Reports of LBP were common (n = 71; 67.6%) and slightly more frequent in primiparous (n = 40; 56.3%) than multiparous (n = 31; 43.7%) women. Multiparous women with LBP were significantly older (p < 0.001) and reported more sleep disturbances (p = 0.026) than primiparous women with LBP. LBP prevented women performing their daily activities (n = 41; 57.7%) and worsened with the advance of pregnancy (n = 55; 77.5%), yet 93.0% (n = 66) of these women received no treatment. CONCLUSION: LBP is a prevalent and important clinical condition affecting the daily life of many pregnant women. Nevertheless, few women seek any treatment and physiotherapy is rarely considered. Given the significant impact on quality of life, health professionals need to be proactive in asking women about LBP.

“…31 Of these trials, 2 demonstrated no difference in change in pain or function between exercise and control groups, 32,33 whereas the third study showed a reduction in sick leave in favor of water gymnastics compared with no treatment. 34 A more recent trial for pregnancy-related low back pain demonstrated a significant decrease in low back pain with exercise including lumbar extension movements and strengthening of abdominal, hamstring, iliopsoas, and paravertebral muscles. 35 This study also demonstrated a positive correlation between increased flexibility and low back pain, suggesting that when weight increases, some instability may occur in the sacroiliac joint.…”

Objective: The purpose of this report is to describe chiropractic treatment of lower back and unilateral leg pain in a pregnant patient. Clinical Features: A 26-year-old woman in her second trimester of pregnancy had severe pain in her lower back that radiated to her hips bilaterally and to her right leg. She reported tingling down her right lower leg to the dorsum of her foot. Although no diagnostic imaging was performed, her differential diagnoses included lumbalgia with associated radiculopathy. Intervention and Outcome: Treatment consisted of manual traction in the side-lying position using a specialized chiropractic table and treatment technique (Cox flexion-distraction decompression) modified for pregnancy. Relief was noted after the first treatment, and complete resolution of her subjective and objective findings occurred after 8 visits. Conclusion: When modified, this chiropractic technique appears to be an effective method for treating lower back pain with radiation to the leg in a pregnant patient who cannot lie prone.

“…Diferentes estudos têm demonstrando benefícios fisiológicos promovidos pela hidroginástica, como aumento do VO 2 pico (9) , da flexibilidade (10) e da força muscular, ressaltando o estímulo do exercício na água (11) . Seria importante apresentar que, em função de o peso corporal não ser uma fator limitante para a prática da atividade na água, a aderência em programas de exercícios tende a aumentar.…”

“…Contudo, os estudos são controversos em relação à força muscular. Enquanto dois estudos verificaram aumentos significantes após o treinamento de hidroginástica (9,10) , um não encontrou alterações significantes nessa capacidade (11) . Sendo assim, a utilização de métodos que permitam potencializar os ganhos de força durante a hidroginástica consiste numa estratégia importante para a melhoria da aptidão física dos praticantes dessa modalidade.…”

Artigo originAl RESUMOO objetivo deste estudo foi comparar as modificações na força/resistência muscular após quatro semanas de hidroginástica com e sem a utilização de bandas elásticas. Participaram do estudo 26 mulheres com idade entre 50 e 60 anos, praticantes de hidroginástica havia pelo menos seis meses. Pré e pós-treinamento, os sujeitos foram submetidos aos testes de flexão de cotovelo, impulsão vertical sem auxílio dos braços e levantar da cadeira em 30 segundos. Os sujeitos foram divididos aleatoriamente em dois grupos: treinamento elástico (GTE) e treinamento convencional (GTC). O GTE realizou a aula de hidroginástica com incremento de banda elástica como sobrecarga adicional. O GTC realizou aula de hidroginástica sem sobrecarga adicional. Para o tratamento estatístico foi utilizada análise de variância (ANOVA) por dois fatores, seguida do teste post hoc de Tukey com P < 0,05. Os resultados indicaram que houve efeito significante do tempo nos três testes analisados (P < 0,01). Adicionalmente, nos testes de flexão de cotovelo e levantar e sentar da cadeira foi verificado efeito significante da interação grupo x tempo (P < 0,01). O teste post hoc de Tukey indicou que, nos três testes, houve aumento significante do pré ao pós-treinamento apenas no GTE (flexão de cotovelo: +45,9%; impulsão vertical: +31,7%; e levantar e sentar da cadeira: 32,4%). Esses resultados sugerem que a associação do treinamento de força realizado por meio de elásticos à hidroginástica promove aumentos significantes na força muscular de membros inferiores e superiores de mulheres. Dessa forma, por se tratar de um método versátil e viável economicamente, recomenda-se a incorporação de exercícios com elástico durante as sessões de hidroginástica para o aumento da força muscular em mulheres.Palavras-chave: resistência elástica, atividades aquáticas, envelhecimento, aptidão física. ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to compare the muscle strength/resistance changes after four weeks of water gymnastics with and without the use of elastic bands. 26 women aged 50-60 years, who have attended water gymnastics classes for at least six month participated in the study. The subjects were pre and post-training assessed through elbow flexion, vertical jump without arm movements and 30-second stand and seat chair tests. The sample was randomly divided into two groups: Elastic band group (EBG) and Regular training group (RTG). EBG was engaged in water gymnastics classes program with the elastic band as additional load, while GTC engaged in only regular water gymnastics classes with no additional apparatus. The statistic analysis chosen was the two-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test with p<0.05 as significant level. The results presented positive effect of the training program in the three analyzed variables. Elbow flexion and chair stand and seat tests showed significant in the group x time interaction (p> 0.01). Tukey post hoc test evidenced significant increase pre-post training period at EBG program for all studied variables. These results sugg...
