Evaluation of Morphofunctional and Baropodometric Changes in Pregnant Women
Sponsor: University of Seville
Summary
Pregnancy causes physiological and biomechanical changes in the female body, such as weight gain and hormonal changes, which can affect the structure and function of the foot and ankle. These adaptations can influence gait, balance and stability. However, the temporal evolution of these changes in the foot and ankle before, during and after pregnancy is not well documented. This study aims to characterize and quantify these changes, as well as their impact on foot function, with the aim of contributing to the prevention and management of podiatric and orthopedic problems in pregnant women.
