have an important role in proper muscular activation for lumbar stabilization and also in unloading
the spine. It was hypothesized that PFM exercise could be of benefit for patients with chronic LBP. After
ethical approval, a randomized controlled trial was carried out on 30 females with chronic LBP. Patients
were randomly allocated into two groups: an experimental and a control group. The control group was
given conventional physiotherapy treatment including modality and exercises; and the experimental
group received PFM strengthening with conventional therapy for 5 times per week upto 4 weeks. Pain
intensity and functional disability by Oswestry Disability Index were measured before and after
intervention . In both groups pain and functional disability were significantly reduced following
treatment (p < 0.01). Also the significant difference was found between the two groups (p > 0.05). It
seems that the PFM exercise combined with conventional treatment was effective over conventional
treatment alone in females with chronic LBP.

Low back pain (LBP) is a condition of localized pain to the lumbar spine. The pelvic floor muscle (PFM)have an important role in proper muscular activation for lumbar stabilization and also in unloading
the spine. It was hypothesized that PFM exercise could be of benefit for patients with chronic LBP. After
ethical approval, a randomized controlled trial was carried out on 30 females with chronic LBP. Patients
were randomly allocated into two groups: an experimental and a control group. The control group was
given conventional physiotherapy treatment including modality and exercises; and the experimental
group received PFM strengthening with conventional therapy for 5 times per week upto 4 weeks. Pain
intensity and functional disability by Oswestry Disability Index were measured before and after
intervention . In both groups pain and functional disability were significantly reduced following
treatment (p < 0.01). Also the significant difference was found between the two groups (p > 0.05). It
seems that the PFM exercise combined with conventional treatment was effective over conventional
treatment alone in females with chronic LBP.

Many women gain large amount of weight during pregnancy and they do not loose it afterwards. Women with various BMI shows different response to weight changes during pregnancy and postpartum. But such study has not been fully explored. This study examines the various girths and weight changes during pregnancy and postpartum. 63 women were investigated at about 8th week, 22nd week, 35th week and 8th week postpartum. Maternal fat weight and waist: hip ratio was calculated by using girth measured at first visit and postpartum. Paired t-test and ANOVA test were used to do the statistical analysis. Weight gain during pregnancy was 10.32Kg. (SD 2.3, p<0.001). A significant increase in weight 2.051kg (SD1.7, p<0.001) was seen from 8th week of pregnancy and 8th week postpartum. Maximum girth increase was found in abdominal and hip region. Based on BMI in early pregnancy, subjects were divided into underweight, normal weight and overweight. Overweight group shows maximum weight retention and fat gain during this period. In conclusion, overweight women are more prone to develop obesity in postpartum period.References
