
Precautions/Contraindications

Activity level for pregnancy which is usually ABR in
the hospital

Post Partum
 Move like pt with THA, rolling many times applies
pressures into the pelvis
 Use of RW recommended so pt does not have to pick
up the walker
 May slide or scoot the extremity at first due to pain

PT Eval
Assess joints
 Assess general strength
 If ABR - Assess bed mobility and follow order for ability
for sitting
 Post Partum are usually pelvic mal-alignment assessment


PT POC – Usually in 7 or 8 month
ABR: DVT prophylaxis, Limit intra abdominal pressure
with mobility much as possible
 Post Partum: Gentle muscle setting, SI belt or abdominopelvic binder for hypermobility, walker for stability and
unload painful side, engage the core
