dc.description.abstractObjective: Balance and pulmonary function could be affected during pregnancy. Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common health problems in pregnant women. Thus, this study aimed to investigate balance, pulmonary functions and LBP in pregnant and nonpregnant women. Material and Methods: This case-control study was conducted at the obstetrics and gynecologic clinic. Thirty-nine pregnant women (pregnant group) and 36 non-pregnant women (control group) were included in this study. Balance was measured with OneLegged Balance Test while the eyes open and closed, pulmonary functions with a spirometer, and LBP with Visual Analog Scale (VAS). Results: It was found that the One-Legged Balance Test scores with eyes closed, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and peak expiratory flow (PEF) values were found lower in the pregnant group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Twenty-one (53.8%) of the pregnant women and 10 (27.8%) of the nonpregnant women had LBP. The findings showed that LBP was higher in the pregnant group compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Pregnant women had poor balance with eyes closed and pulmonary functions and more LBP than non-pregnant women. It may be important that these results should be taken into account in pregnancy training programs to increase balance, improve pulmonary functions and reduce LBP during pregnancy.en_US
