“…The findings of Carr and Shepherd 12 and Takeda, Katsuhira, Takano 24 corroborate those by Lou, Chou, Chou, Lin, Chen 23 , who stated that it is useful to instruct pregnant women to adopt relatively higher-seating chairs and to use the armrests to help ensure postural stability and avoid putting pressure on the abdomen 23 . This adaptation would also help to decrease the joint torque of the hips and knees when there is loss of contact with the seat 22 .…”

“…This is due to the biomechanical requirements imposed by the foot, torso, or arm position 10,15 . However, Lou, Chou, Chou, Lin, Chen 23 observed that increasing the time to perform the STS movement has become more significant for seats with lower heights 23 .…”

“…As pregnancy progresses, maximum torso flexion is reduced and the body mass is increased as a result of the impregnated uterus. In addition, hip joint peak and flexion speed decrease 23,25 . Therefore, it is expected that with gestation advancement, the activity of raising/lifting oneself from a chair becomes more difficult to perform.…”

“…The movement under analysis includes flexion of the torso and extension of the back, hips and knees, made difficult by painful symptoms in the lower back and/or extremities 23 . As pregnancy progresses, maximum torso flexion is reduced and the body mass is increased as a result of the impregnated uterus.…”

-Aims:Changes resulting from the gestational period may lead to changes in the biomechanics of women, which can alter the performance of functional activities such as sit-to-stand. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the influence of a virtual reality-based exercise protocol on the kinematic variables of the sit-to-stand movement in women in their second and third gestational trimesters. Methods: The sample consisted of 44 women selected according to the eligibility criteria, allocated into 4 groups: control group, 2 nd trimester (CG2T); experimental group, 2 nd trimester (EG2T); control group, 3 rd trimester (CG3T); and experimental group, 3 rd trimester (EG3T). All the volunteers answered the identification and evaluation form and were sent to the kinematic evaluation through the Qualisys Motion Capture System®. An intervention with game therapy was performed in 12 sessions of 30 minutes each, three times a week. Results: No statistically significant differences were found intra-(P> 0.54) and inter-groups (P> 0.059) for kinematic variables. However, there was a tendency for improvement in the analyzed variables after the proposed protocol. Conclusions: The data obtained suggest that the use of the Nintendo Wii Fit Plus® was not able to influence sit-to-stand kinematic variables in the analyzed women.

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to kinesiologically analyze of the stand-to-sit motion in the third trimester.[Subjects] Eight pregnant women in their third trimester and 8 non-pregnant women participated in this study.[Methods] Subjects were asked to sit-down on a 400-mm-high seat from the standing position. A 3D motion analysis system and a force plate were used to collect data. Measurements analyzed were (1) the time taken to sit down; (2) the leg joint moment; (3) the antero-posterior and vertical floor reaction forces; and (4) the range of motion of the lower limbs and trunk. Statistical analyses were conducted to compare the pregnant with non-pregnant women using the Mann-Whitney U test.[Results] For pregnant women, the time taken to sit down, the knee extension moment, as well as the posterior and vertical components of the motion were significantly higher. The ranges of motion of the other joints were not significantly different between the pregnant and non-pregnant women. [Conclusion] Pregnant woman have unstable posterior balance when sitting down due to the increase of the posterior floor reaction force. In the third trimester, the sit-down motion requires attention because of the impact of weight gain and the shift in the center of gravity.
