PURPOSES: To describe the process of gait initiation of pregnant women and to compare the behavior of the pressure
center in the three trimesters of pregnancy. METHODS: Fifty-seven low-risk pregnant women were evaluated, aged
18 to 35 years, selected for convenience location during the three trimesters of pregnancy. The women were divided
into three groups of 19 subjects each, according to gestational age – 1st quarter (4–12 weeks), 2nd quarter (13–28
weeks), and 3rd quarter (29–42 weeks,). Each patient was positioned standing up with one foot on each AMTI force
platform until she heard a beep indicating that she should start walking a distance of four meter. Data were analyzed
using the SPSS software. The Kolmogorov Smirnov test, Tukey’s test and Spearman correlation coefficient were used
for group comparisons, with 5% significance level in all tests. RESULTS: Significant differences were found between
the 1st quarter (GFT) and 3rd quarter (GTT) groups regarding mediolateral oscillation amplitude (GFT: 0.4 cm and GTT:
0.2 cm) and mediolateral displacement rate (GFT: 0.9 cm/s and GTT: 0.4 cm/s). There was a gradual decrease in
anteroposterior and mediolateral oscillation rate, and in the speed of displacement from platform 1 to platform 2 in GFT.
There was a significant difference in oscillation amplitude and mediolateral displacement speed between GFT and
GTT. CONCLUSION: The variables analyzed showed minor differences and do not constitute an imminent risk for the
stability dynamics of pregnant woman.
