TL;DR
Pregnant patients with pelvic pain show a considerable level of complaints, and the overall severity of complaints is not related to previous peripartum pelvic pain or type of deliveries or to commonly used tests.
Abstract
Pregnant patients with pelvic pain show a considerable level of complaints. The overall severity of complaints is not related to previous peripartum pelvic pain or type of deliveries or to commonly used tests. Further study on the role of clinical examination, including passive flexion and internal rotation of the hip joints, is recommended.

SpineReliability and Validity of the Active Straight Leg Raise Test in Posterior Pelvic Pain Since Pregnancy
311 Citations2001Jan Mens, Andry Vleeming +3 more
It seems that the integrity of the function to transfer loads between the lumbosacral spine and legs is tested by the ASLR test, which is a suitable diagnostic instrument to discriminate between patients who are disabled by PPPP and healthy subjects.
Physical TherapyIntertester Reliability for Selected Clinical Tests of the Sacroiliac Joint
300 Citations1985Nancy A. Potter, Jules M Rothstein
Reliability was poor; 11 of the 13 tests resulted in less than 70% agreement and the two tests that relied solely on subjective patient response and imparted no information on SIJ position or mobility were within a range of 70% to 90% agreement.
SpineUnderstanding Peripartum Pelvic Pain
247 Citations1996Jan Mens, Andry Vleeming +3 more
It is hypothesized that peripartum pelvic pain is caused by strain of ligaments in the pelvis and lower spine resulting from a combination of damage to ligaments (recently or in the past), hormonal effects, muscle weakness, and the weight of the fetus.
European Spine JournalEvaluation of clinical tests used in classification procedures in pregnancy-related pelvic joint pain
206 Citations2000H Albert, Mona Godskesen +1 more
The results show that it is possible to standardise examination and interpretation of clinical tests of the pelvic joints, resulting in a high degree of sensitivity, specificity and inter-examiner reliability.
Manual TherapyInsufficient lumbopelvic stability: a clinical, anatomical and biomechanical approach to ‘a-specific’ low back pain
192 Citations1998Annelies Pool‐Goudzwaard, Andry Vleeming +3 more
For treatment purposes stabilization techniques followed by specific muscle strengthening procedures are indicated and when there is a loss of force closure, for instance in peripartum pelvic instability, application of a pelvic belt can be advised.
SpinePostpartum Low-Back Pain
166 Citations1992Hans Christian Östgaard, Gunnar Andersson
To determine the prevalence of back pain and its development over the first postpartum period, 817 women who had been followed through pregnancy were studied a minimum of 12 months after delivery.
SpineThe Prognostic Value of Asymmetric Laxity of the Sacroiliac Joints in Pregnancy-Related Pelvic Pain
113 Citations2002Léonie Damen, H. Muzaffer Buyruk +4 more
Data indicate that in women with moderate to severe complaints of pelvic pain during pregnancy, sacroiliac joint asymmetric laxity measured during pregnancy is predictive of the persistence ofmoderate to severe pregnancy-related pelvic pain into the postpartum period.

Pelvic pain in pregnancy in low‐income countries is known to be more common in Scandinavia than in the rest of the world, to be culturally specific for the region and to reflect a change in attitude among pregnant women.

The clinical characteristics and outcomes of a large group of women with symptom‐giving pelvic girdle relaxation of pregnancy and postnatal pelvic joint syndrome and if there is an increased incidence of developmental dysplasia of the hip in the children ofWomen with such pelvic problems are described.
SpineDiscriminatory Power of Tests Applied in Back Pain During Pregnancy
67 Citations1996Per Kristiansson, Kurt Svärdsudd
The results indicate that not one but several pain‐releasing structures may be involved in back pain, probably the various pelvic ligaments, which may form a functional unit.
Acta Obstetricia Et Gynecologica ScandinavicaSonographic assessment of symphyseal joint distention during pregnancy and post partum with special reference to pelvic pain
65 Citations1999Kenneth Björklund, Marie‐Louise Nordström +1 more
There is a minor pregnancy-induced physiological increase in laxity of the symphyseal soft tissue but there is no evidence that the degree of symphySEal distention determines the severity of pelvic pain in pregnancy or after childbirth.
