Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Pregnancy significantly alters body sway, particularly with reduced support or closed eyes. Postural control changes, measured by centre of pressure (COP) movements, are evident throughout gestation.

Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Human Physiology
  • Motor Control

Background:

  • Postural control is crucial for stability.
  • Pregnancy involves significant physiological changes affecting balance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze changes in body sway during pregnancy.
  • To investigate the impact of visual and support conditions on postural control in pregnant women.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive study involving 20 healthy pregnant women.
  • Stabilometric tests conducted at three pregnancy stages.
  • Varied visual (eyes open/closed) and support (feet together/apart) conditions.
  • Analysis of stabilogram elliptical area and centre of pressure (COP) spectral analysis.

Main Results:

  • Increased COP sway area observed with feet apart and eyes closed conditions as pregnancy progressed.
  • Enhanced anterior-posterior COP oscillations noted with eyes open, feet together/apart.
  • Reduced lateral COP oscillations found with eyes open, feet together.

Conclusions:

  • Pregnancy significantly impacts postural control.
  • Reduced support base or closed eyes exacerbate postural control changes in pregnancy.
