Abstract

Background: Low back pain (LBP) and sacroiliac joint dysfunction are prevalent clinical conditions that significantly affect health professionals, including gynaecologists. Often linked to poor and faulty posture, specifically stoop posture commonly adopted by gynaecologists, these conditions can lead to further complications. Prior studies have highlighted considerable prevalence rates, indicating a serious occupational hazard within this group.

Objective: The primary aim of this study is to explore the association between low back pain and sacroiliac joint dysfunction specifically among gynaecologists, to understand the correlation and implications for this demographic.

Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out at Rashid Latif Medical College, Lahore. The sample comprised 74 gynaecologists aged between 30 to 45 years. Low back pain severity was assessed using the Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and the slump test for clinical evaluation. Sacroiliac joint dysfunction was evaluated using Gillet's test. Statistical analysis to establish the association between low back pain and sacroiliac joint dysfunction was conducted using the Chi-square test.

Results: The results revealed a significant association between low back pain and sacroiliac joint dysfunction among the participants. Statistical analysis using the Chi-square test confirmed this relationship, highlighting the high prevalence of both conditions in the study group.

Conclusion:

The study conclusively found a significant association between low back pain and sacroiliac joint dysfunction among gynaecologists. This underscores the need for targeted preventive and therapeutic strategies in this professional group to address these debilitating conditions.
