This study provides evidence- and consensus-based recommendations for the instruments to measure the five Pelvic Girdle Pain Core Outcome Set (PGP-COS): pain frequency, pain intensity/severity, function/disability/activity limitation, health-related quality of life and fear avoidance.

The Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire (PGQ) was developed to evaluate impairments and/or the functional limitations caused my pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. The PGQ has been found to significantly discriminated participants who were pregnant from participants who were not pregnant.

What is pelvic girdle pain? The pelvic girdle is a ring of bones around your body at the base of your spine. PGP is pain in the front and/or the back of your pelvis that can also affect other areas such as the hips or thighs. It can affect the sacroiliac joints at the back and/or the symphysis pubis joint at the front.

PGP can be diagnosed by pain provocation tests (P4/thigh thrust, Patrick's Faber, Gaenslen's test, and modified Trendelenburg's test) and pain palpation tests (long dorsal ligament test and palpation of the symphysis). As a functional test, the active straight leg raise (ASLR) test is recommended.

Test-retest reliability showed high intraclass correlation coefficient estimates: . 93 (95% confidence interval=0.86-0.96) for the PGQ activity subscale and .

To calculate the total PGQ score, all scores are summarized and divided by the total possible score of 75 (maximum possible scores of 60 for activity and 15 for symptoms), subsequently recalculated to a percentage, resulting in percentage scores ranging from 0 (no disability) to 100 (severe disability).

Background: The Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire (PGQ) is a condition-specific measure for women with pelvic girdle pain (PGP). The PGQ includes items relating to activity/participation and bodily symptoms and has reliability, validity, and feasibility for use in research and clinical practice.
