Introduction: Nowadays, obstetrical risk is calculated by means of static anthropometric measurements. Osteopathic articles study the ability to move in relation to childbirth. The results presented stem from a single measurement as pregnancy is a stage of continuous physical change. There are no studies that look at the evolution of the adaptability of the pelvis during pregnancy and how it affects childbirth.Materials and methods: By recruiting 46 pregnant women, a pilot observational study was carried out. They were summoned twice to observe the change that the Rhombus of Michaelis suffered by means of the Diamond Test, the lumbar flexibility through the Modified Schöber Test, the stability of the sacroiliac joints with the Posterior Pelvic Pain Provocation Test, and their living standards through the Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire. Subsequently, the birth data were recorded.
Results: The pregnancies of 18 primipara and 10 multiparous women were monitored. Statistical calculations were made using the R Bioconductor programme, where prepartum values were analysed and related to postpartum values.
Conclusion: The record of the evolution of the Diamnod Test, the MST, the PPPP, and the PGQ showed that mechanical stability is crucial to avoid obstetric risk. - Abstract

Introducción: Actualmente el riesgo obstétrico se calcula mediante medidas antropométricas estáticas. Los artículos osteopáticos estudian la capacidad de movimiento en relación al parto. Los resultados que presentan derivan de una única medición, siendo el embarazo una etapa de continuo cambio físico. No existen investigaciones que observen la evolución de esta adaptabilidad de la pelvis al desarrollo del embarazo y cómo ésta repercute en el parto.
Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio piloto, observacional mediante el reclutamiento de 46 embarazadas. Se citaron en dos ocasiones, para observar el cambio que sufría el Rombo de Michaelis gracias al Test de la Cometa, la flexibilidad lumbar mediante el Test de Schöber Modificado, la estabilidad de las articulaciones sacroilíacas mediante el Posterior Pelvic Pain Provocation Test y su calidad de vida mediante el Pelvic Girdle Questionnaire. Posteriormente se registraron los datos del parto.
Resultados: Se controlaron los embarazos de 18 primíparas y 18 multíparas. Los cálculos estadísticos fueron realizados mediante el programa R Bioconductor donde se analizaron y relacionaron los valores preparto con los valores posparto.
Conclusión: El registro de la evolución del TC, del MST, del PPPP y del PGQ ha permitido observar que la estabilidad mecánica es clave para evitar el riesgo obstétrico. - presented at
