Kinematic Analysis of Gait in the Second and Third Trimesters of Pregnancy

Figure 2

Kinematic parameters (sagittal plane) of gait of pregnant women in the later stages of second trimester (dashed line) and third trimester (solid line) and of nulliparous controls (dot line). Mean joint angles of the pelvis, hip, knee, and ankle, for right and left lower limbs, in degrees. The curve peaks are indicated by numbers: first, second, third and fourth and (*) points the significant differences.
