| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study was to clarify the breastfeeding posture that is most effective and reduces the physical strain on the mother by analyzing the mother's muscle activity and perceived strength during breastfeeding. Study participants were 32 pairs of mothers and their infants. The mothers were in their 20s to 40s, and their infants ranged in age from 1 to 5 months.The measurement task consisted of assessment of breastfeeding movements at each of the three trunk angles. The measurement items were upper limb electromyography and subjective strength during breastfeeding, assessed using a modified Borg scale.
Muscle activities of both trapezius muscles, biceps brachii on the breast-feeding side, and flexor carpi ulnaris were significantly reduced in the reclining breast-feeding position compared to other breast-feeding positions.Similar results were obtained for rate of perceived exertion.Suprahyoid muscle activity in infants did not differ by posture.

母乳育児が可能になることは,多くの女性の希望を叶えることだけではなく,母子の長期的な健康にも影響することから,国の医療費抑制にも寄与すると考える。一方,母乳育児は同じ姿勢で昼夜を問わず行われるため,母親の安楽な授乳姿勢の確保は,母乳育児の継続を保証し,授乳時での母子の状態を運動学・運動力学的に分析することは母乳育児支援の一助となると考える。リクライニング位の授乳は僧帽筋を含めた上肢の筋活動を低下させることが明らかとなる本研究での結果は,肩こりや手首の痛みを有する際の授乳指導の選択肢になると考えられ、母乳育児の継続を可能とすることが示唆された。
