Three-Dimensional Kinetic Adaptations of Gait throughout Pregnancy and Postpartum

Figure 4

Joints moments in the transverse plane during gait (in N⋅m⋅kg⁻¹). Each line represents the later stages of first (dotted line), second (dashed line), and third trimesters (solid line) and of postpartum period (dash-dot-dot line). Mean joint moments of the hip and ankle, for right and left lower limbs. The curve peaks are indicated by numbers: 1st and 2nd, and () points the significant differences.
