COMPARISON OF SPINAL CURVATURES OF WOMEN HAD GIVEN MULTIPLE TIMES AND NEVER GIVEN BIRTH

Abstract

Background: It is known that the amount of load loaded on the body affects the spine and spinal curvature. It was thought that the spine could be affected during each pregnancy experienced by the women. The spine measurements of women who gave birth and those who did not were compared . Material and methots: In this study, the spines of women who came to X X.X. Medical Center Gynecology and Obstetrics Poliyclinic in 2020 were examined using the Spinal Mouse device. In posture analysis, it was aimed to evaluate the results of the measurements obtained with the Spinal Mouse. A total of 100 women between the ages of 30-35, 50 from women who have never given birth and 50 from women who have had multiple births [women who have given birth at least three times ], were included in the study. T-Test was used to compare group means in terms of continuous variables. Results: As a result of the findings obtained, the average weight of women who gave birth and never gave birth was p=0.001 as a result of statistical analysis and it was found significant. There was a difference in angular values between the two groups, with LL [p=0.001 ] and SK [p=0.003 ] measurements taken in the extension position in the measurements taken in the upright position, a significant result was obtained in the TK [p=0.040 ] and LL [p=0.001 ] values. Conclusions: It is seen that every birth process experienced negatively affects the posture of women. Therefore, women who have given birth should be made aware of the necessary exercise and physical activity in order to control and protect the spine health.
