Abstract

Most studies related to the investigation of pregnant women postural balance and stability are statistic analysis performed upon a set of normal weight subjects, with no risk factor regarding their pregnancy. The authors decided to monitor a more complicated case starting from the first weeks of pregnancy until the last ones, by determining the postural stability during stance, and plantar pressure during normal gait. The subject is over 35 and overweight, meaning that she involves more risks than other persons.
