“…All of these postural realignments of the spinal curvatures can produce overloads in the main lower limb joints and lead to musculoskeletal discomfort and pain symptoms [1], which can be frequently associated with decreases in quality of life, mainly over the last trimester of pregnancy [48]. Some of these musculoskeletal discomforts are related to pain in the lumbar spine [6–9], sacroiliac and hip joints [10,11,49], and in the knees and feet [12].…”

“…It is estimated that approximately 25% of pregnant women demonstrate at least some temporary symptoms [5]. According to Hagan and Wong [50], pregnancy-related spinal and lower extremity changes should be monitored to prevent or reduce potential dysfunctions [3,48] and the loss of independence to perform daily living activities, such as bending down to pick up some objects, standing up from a chair and even walking [13,51,52].…”

“…Some possible explanations are spine and lower limbs adaptations. The joint and muscular overloads, due to the increased body mass, are approximately 12–16 kg [36,37] and the superior and anterior displacements of the CG [25] could affect balance and the control of movements during pregnancy [48].…”

The purpose of this literature review is to evaluate the studies that have investigated static and dynamic biomechanical changes of the lower limbs and gait patterns during pregnancy. Original articles on this subject, published between 1934 and 2012, were considered. In general, pregnant women demonstrated greater hip flexion, more extended knees and less plantar flexion ankles. These changes could explain the gait patterns of pregnant women characterized by increased hip angles, decreased propulsion forces associated with increased durations of stance phase and changes in distributions of the plantar loads with increased loads in the forefoot and decreased ones in the rearfoot. This can lead to arthrokinematic deviations that, with time, contribute to the development of musculoskeletal discomfort. In summary, these findings showed the importance of further longitudinal studies to investigate the relationships between musculoskeletal discomfort in pregnant women in the lower limbs and gait changes observed throughout this period.

“…It is also known that the lower the CG, the higher the degree of postural stability is and the larger the support base, when the CG projection remains within the support base and the higher the body weight. However, previous studies have shown that the higher rate of weight gain during the third gestational trimester would justify the reduction of postural balance during this phase [3,22,24]. This factor can be explained by the non-homogeneous distribution of the body weight, in addition to the asymmetrical laxity of the joints, promoting greater postural instability in pregnant women mainly due to hormonal action during the gestational period.…”

Impact of lumbopelvic pain on postural balance during sit-to-stand activity in pregnant women: a cross-sectional study

Introduction: The emergence of painful pathologies during gestation, such as lumbopelvic pain (LPP), can influence in the achievement of functional activities, such as sit-to-stand, throughout the gestational period. Objective: To compare the variables of static and dynamic postural balance (sit-to-stand activity) among pregnant women with and whitout lumbopelvic pain and the outcome variables between the gestational trimesters. Method: A total of 100 pregnant women participated in this study allocated as follows: 51 in the LPP group and 49 in the group without LPP. All participants were subjected to an evaluation protocol: filling an identification form, Analogic Visual Scale (AVS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Evaluation of postural balance was subsequently performed using the Balance Master System®. Results: 64.7% of women during the third trimester of pregnancy reported LPP. No statistically significant differences were found between LBP presence or absence in postural balance variables (p>0.05). However, gestational age influenced the VFEC variable (p=0.001). Conclusion: Women during the third gestational trimester presented complaints of lumbopelvic pain. However, the data acquired suggest that women with LPP do not have alterations in postural balance during sit-to-stand movement when compared to pregnant women without pain.

“…Mediante la experiencia, los neonatos aprenden a mantener el control postural mientras interactúan dentro de un entorno, esto requiere una compleja interacción de sistemas en desarrollo que incluyen los sistema sensorial, motor y cognitivo. (Goldfield, 1995) (Oliveira, Vieira, Macedo, Simpson, & Nadal, 2009 (Moccellin & Driusso, 2012) (Dusing, Thacker, & Galloway, 2016) El control postural difiere entre los recién nacidos a término y pretérmino durante las 3 primeras semanas de vida, no es claro si esas diferencias continúan y si tienen efectos en el desarrollo de los comportamientos de los niños. Los recién nacidos pretérmino tienen un mayor riesgo de desarrollar discapacidades que incluyen parálisis cerebral, desarrollo de desórdenes de coordinación y dificultades para el aprendizaje, comparados con los recién nacido a término.…”

Objetivo. La presente investigación tiene como finalidad describir los procesos que llevan a cabo los sistemas de retroalimentación sensorial para alcanzar la estabilidad postural en el neonato. Estrategia de búsqueda: Se efectuó una búsqueda de artículos científicos en SCience Direct, Elsevier, Springer, PUBMED, Annual Reviews, entre los años 1990 y 2018, en los que se revisó lo concerniente a la estabilidad postural del neonato. Las palabras clave fueron Neonato, Estabilidad postural, Control postural. Selección de Estudios: Se obtuvieron 53 artículos, de los cuales 13 fueron analíticos y de corte experimental y los 40 restantes correspondieron a revisiones de la literatura y estudios descriptivos. Se ingresó esta información en una base de datos que más tarde se utilizó en el presente documento. Síntesis de Resultados: La estabilidad postural procede de 2 orígenes, el primero relacionado con el control neural (alteraciones en la retroalimentación de los sistemas sensoriales (somatosensorial, vestibular y visual) y el segundo está relacionado con las adaptaciones biomecánicas presentes.El desarrollo postural en el neonato comienza con un repertorio de ajustes específicos que sugieren que el nivel básico de control tiene un origen innato Conclusiones: El control postural en el neonato se da en una representación cefalocaudal teniendo un importante papel, la cabeza, el cuello y el tronco. El sistema vestibular está conectado con los sistemas propioceptivo, visual y motor en la adquisición del control postural, la conexión entre el sistema visual y el sistema vestibular es alcanzada entre el segundo y tercer mes de vida
