Pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain and dysfunction:
An update on assessing the force closure mechanism of the pelvis (including the pelvic floor) for orthopaedic physiotherapists
Instructor: Diane Lee
Date and Time: June 1st, 2021. 7:00pm-8:00pm CST
Background/Relevance to Physiotherapy Practice:
Pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain (PRPGP) effects 70-80% of women and while most will recover, 50% will continue to experience urinary incontinence and/or pelvic organ prolapse in association with their low back and PRPGP. All clinicians who treat postpartum women need to be aware of this statistic and have basic tools for assessment of the pelvic floor and to know when to refer to a pelvic health physiotherapist. This webinar will provide these introductory tools and is intended for orthopaedic physiotherapists.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this webinar, the participant will have an introductory understanding of the following:
- Pregnancy-related PGP – prevalence during pregnancy and after
- Urinary incontinence prevalence and course through life
- Pelvic organ prolapse prevalence and risk factors
- Relationship between PGP and urinary incontinence & POP
- Requirements for a functional pelvic girdle, with urinary continence and pelvic organ support Form and force closure mechanisms for the pelvic girdle and impact of pain on these mechanisms
- Why there are no recipes for PRPGP and skilled clinical reasoning is still our best approach
- Common impairments in the muscles of the abdominal canister related to pregnancy
- Evidence-informed, clinically reasoned assessment for PRPGP, UI and POP
- Active & passive mobility and control tests for the ISJ
- Assessment of the abdominal wall and multifidus – NOT the focus of this lecture but some key points
- Assessment of the pelvic floor – some tips for orthopaedic physiotherapists
- What else can you learn to do to add more tools to your assessment and treatment toolbox for PRPGP, UI and POP?
