Summary

Pelvic girdle pain is frequently experienced in pregnant women and the mechanism of pelvic girdle pain is not known exactly. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of plantar fascia on pelvic girdle pain in pregnant women.

Conditions

• Pelvic Girdle Pain
• Biomechanical and Viscoelastic Properties of Plantar Fascia
• Pregnant Woman

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Evaluation of biomechanics and viscoelastic properties of plantar fascia	The biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of the plantar fascia will be measured in the side lying position. Measurements will be made with the ankle in neutral position and maximum dorsi flexion position.
OTHER	Evaluation of navıcular drop	The amount of navicular drop of both feet will be measured
OTHER	Evaluation of plantar pressure distrubution	The distribution of foot plantar pressure and the amount of change in the center of gravity will be measured in the free standing position.
