| Research Abstract |
In order to clarify safe and effective gait during pregnancy, gait patterns in the fifth to ninth months of pregnancy and during the postpartum period were analyzed using a 3-dimensional motion analysis device, force plates, and electromyograms, involving 5 pregnant females with a normal course of pregnancy. Analysis revealed that, during late pregnancy, hip joint flexion increases to propel the legs forward with decreased push -off and the center of gravity left behind, leading to the shortening of the swing phase. Such a gait pattern may be regar ded as an adaptation to somatotype changes.
