Description
During pregnancy musculoskeletal disorders are common and cause problems ranging from mild discomfort to serious disability. Some of these conditions include low back pain involving the lumbosacral spine and sacroiliac joints, carpal tunnel syndrome and leg cramps. Presence of these anatomical and physiological changes with or without the presence of musculoskeletal disorders can result into alteration of walking pattern. Altered gait pattern may subsequently alter the biomechanics and may worsen the discomforts and disabilities as a result of vicious cycle.
