چکیده | ||
Falling is common in pregnant women. Ability of accurate postural control and orientation is important to prevent falling. The aim of this study was to assess and postural control and orientation during different stages of pregnancy and after delivery. Three groups (13 subjects in each group, age range 20-28 years) including non – pregnant women (I), pregnant women in their first three months of pregnancy (II) and those in their last month of pregnancy (III) were studied. Postural control and orientation were assessed using BIODEX stability platform. In group (III), all measurements were repeated after the delivery. MANOVA and ANOVA with repeated measures were used to analyze the data (?=0.05). Results showed that group (I) with 53.07+8.17 score obtained the highest postural control and group (III) with 31.8+14.7 score significantly showed the lowest postural control. There was no significant difference in back, left and right orientation between the last month of pregnancy and after delivery while a significant decrease in other orientations was observed. After delivery, postural orientation increased to 25% (P=0.001). This study suggested that pregnancy-related physical changes are associated with poor postural orientation. However, it is not clear if this deficiency is due to the muscle weakness or proprioceptive deficits. Although postural orientation improved after delivery, it was still lower than normal subjects. Postpartum postural rehabilitation is recommended during pregnancy and after delivery. | ||
