Standing working posture compared in pregnant and non-pregnant conditions / Jeannette A. Paul and Monique H.W. Frings-Dresen

Sumario: During pregnancy, and increase in body weight occurs together with changes in body weight distribution and in fit between body dimensions and workplace layout. These changes may cause alterations in working posture which may, in turn, have adverse consequences for the biomechanical load on the musculoskeletal system and so increase the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Using photographic posture registration, the standing working posture was studied in 27 women during the last stage of pregnancy and after delivery (the experimental group)
