Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how pregnancy-related biomechanical changes affect pelvic floor muscle activity, balance, and mobility in high-risk pregnant women over different gestational weeks.
- It included 62 participants and utilized methods like surface electromyography and motion sensors to gather data about muscle functionality and mobility.
- Findings showed that as pregnancy progresses, pelvic floor muscle activity decreases and mobility improves in terms of time to stand and move, but the plantar contact area remains unchanged.
