What is Assessment of Pelvic-Lumbar-Thigh Biomechanics to Optimize The Childbirth Position: An “In Vivo” Innovative Biomechanical Study about?
## Abstract The study aimed to assess the associations between the pelvis orientation, lumbar curve and thigh postures throughout pregnancy in a population of healthy women. Additionally, optimal mechanical birth conditions in terms of the pelvic inlet and lumbar curve were researched. The individuals’ posture was assessed with three-dimensional motion analysis and the lumbar curve with the Epionics SPINE system. The association between the hip joint angles (flexion and abduction), the pelvis external conjugate, and lumbar curve position was assessed with a generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) adjusted to individuals’ characteristics. Joint laxity was assessed with a modified Jobbin’s extensometer. For all of the subjects, hip flexion and hip abduction were significantly associated with the angle between the external conjugate and spine, with higher correlation in the multivariate regression model. The association between hip flexion and the lumbar curve was less significant in multivariate than univariate regression analysis. Optimal birth conditions were never reached. The findings contribute to the understanding of the association between the hip position (flexion and abduction
