What is The Timed Up & Go test in pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain compared to asymptomatic pregnant and non-pregnant women about?
## Background: The timed up and go (tug) test, a standardized functional mobility test, has been proposed as a physical performance-based measure in pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain (pgp). ## Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate physical function by the use of tug in pregnant women with pgp compared to asymptomatic pregnant and non-pregnant women, and to identify factors associated with increased tug. ## Methods: In total, 25 pregnant women with pgp, 24 asymptomatic pregnant and 25 asymptomatic non-pregnant women participated. one-way analysis of variance was used to explore difference in tug between the groups and multiple linear regression analyses to explore associations between tug and potential explanatory variables. ## Results: The time on tug varied among pregnant women with pgp, and was significantly higher (mean (95% ci) 6.9 (6.5, 7.3) seconds) than for asymptomatic pregnant (5.8 (5.5, 6.0), p < 0.001) and non-pregnant (5.5 (5.4, 5.6), p < 0.001) women. in the total study sample, group, increased bmi and sick leave were significantly associated with increased tug (p-values≤0.02). in pregnant women with pgp, pain intensity was the only significa
