Low back pain and kinesiophobia in pregnant women
CONCLUSION: LBP in pregnant women has a higher frequency than in the normal population, regardless of age, gestational week, and gravida. Obesity appears to be a risk factor for LBP and increases disability. Kinesiophobia in pregnant women is significantly associated with obesity and disability. Unless there are contraindications, a physically active pregnancy process and regular exercise should be recommend.PMID:38607751 | DOI:10.3233/BMR-240006
