Pelvic girdle pain is a common musculoskeletal condition in the community. According to fear-avoidance beliefs model, the anticipation of increased pain or further evokes thee avoidance behaviour causing disability.
Aim – The study aimed to correlate fear-avoidance beliefs with dynamic balance functional performance, Disability in Pelvic Girdle pain patients. Settings and design: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 75 chronic pelvic girdle pain patients in tertiary care hospital.
Subject and methods: pain fear-avoidance beliefs, dynamic balance, and disability were assessed in chronic pain patients. Pain was evaluated using the numerical pain rating scale, fear avoidance using the fear-avoidance belief questionnaire (FABQ), disability using the roland morris disability questionnaire, dynamic balance using the minibest test, and functional performance using the back performance scale. Statistical analysis used: statistical measures such as median and interquartile ranges were calculated. The spearmen’s correlation test was used.
Result: there was a low correlation between FABQ and pain (r=0.431,=0.000), dynamic balance (r=-0.425, p=0.000) and functional performance (r=0.482,p=0.000) and moderate positive correlation with disability (r,=0.538, P=0.000) in chronic pelvic pain patients.
Conclusions: fear-avoidance beliefs are significantly associated with pain, dynamic balance , functional performance, and disability in chronic low back pain patient.
