About this study

Official title: the Effect of Clinical Exercise Training on Foot Plantar Pressure, Subtalar Joint and Gait Patterns in Pregnancy

The research will be conducted with healthy pregnant women who applied to the Ege University Gynecology and Obstetrics Department Polyclinic, and were referred to the Sports Medicine Department.The study will consist of two groups as the control group and the exercise group.Voluntary pregnant women who are not found to be inconvenient to do moderate-intensity exercise by the doctor will participate in the study.The study was planned as a randomized controlled and single-blind study.The participant's demographic information, obstetric assessment, physical activity level, fall history and pain assessment will be recorded.Foot plantar pressure, static and dynamic balance, center of pressure (COP), subtalar joint evaluation and gait evaluation will be measured by pedobarography at Ege University Orthopedics and Traumatology Department Gait Laboratory.The control group will be offered walking as recommended by ACOG for pregnant women.Clinical exercise training will be given to pregnant women in the study group by a specialist physiotherapist.

Read the detailed description

Pregnancy is a condition that includes many parameters.As the gestational week progresses and the fetus grows, changes are observed in the musculoskeletal system, hormonal system and other systems of the mother's body.Mechanical pain is observed in pregnant women with the expansion of the pelvis and the increase in the load on the lower extremities.The American Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) recommends physical activity and moderate-intensity exercises for a healthy pregnancy and delivery in pregnant women.Foot plantar pressure measurement is accepted in the literature as an objective measurement method in lower extremity biomechanical pain, static and dynamic balance.Evaluations will be made on day 0 and the day corresponding to the end of the 8th week.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Walk exerciseOther

    The control group will be recommended to walk 5 days a week, 30-45 minutes (min.) (at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week), as recommended by ACOG for pregnant women. Exercise intensity will be given as 4-6 units for moderate-intensity exercise according to the Modified Perceived Difficulty Level (RPE).

  • One-on-one clinical exercise trainingOther

    One-on-one clinical exercise training will be given by a specialist physiotherapist who has received special training in antenatal exercise. The program is designed to be 2 days a week for 8 weeks.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Walk exercise and One-on-one clinical exercise training in people with Pregnancy, run by Ege University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Foot plantar pressure (time frame: 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
