Abstract Background: During Pregnancy, women undergo many physiological and biomechanical changes, which include increased body weight, altered posture, and the influence of hormonal changes like the release of relaxin hormone that affect musculoskeletal stability. The forward shift of the centre of gravity contributes to an increase in lumbar lordosis, which often results in low back pain. Along with these physical problems, anxiety and depressive symptoms are also common during pregnancy.
Aim: To study the effect of a structured exercise program on lumbar lordosis, lumbar range of motion (ROM), and pregnancy-related anxiety in pregnant women.
Methodology: An experimental study was conducted on 72 pregnant women recruited at the end of the third month of pregnancy, as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants were allocated into two groups: Group A (experimental) received a structured exercise program, while Group B (control) was advised to continue routine activities. Baseline parameters like lumbar lordosis, lumbar ROM, and pregnancy-related anxiety were recorded. Assessments were repeated at the end of the 5th month, 7th month, and one month post-delivery. Data were analysed using SPSS software. Repeated Measures ANOVA and unpaired t-tests were applied.
Results: A significant improvement was observed in lumbar lordosis and pregnancy-related anxiety in the experimental group compared to the control group. No significant difference was found in lumbar ROM.
Conclusion: A structured exercise program positively influences lumbar lordosis and pregnancy-related anxiety in pregnant women.
