Abstract
Pregnancy, as the most wanted, but nevertheless new and unusuall condition, without doubt opens a greater field for analyisis in physiotherapeutical rehabilitation. During pregnancy, many somatic, psyhic and musculo-sceletal changes are taking place. The adjustments in the musculo-sceletal system for the duration of the pregnancy lead to many changes of the posture of the expecting mother. The enlargment of the uterus is limited by the abdominal muscules on one side, and by the spine on the other. Some of the changes cause low balance, shortening and streching of muscules, and pain. Exercises during pregnancy may prevent those painfull syndromes. To create a pregnancy exercise plan, a physiotherapist must consider the corporal changes (in the cardio-vascular system, the gastro-intestinal system, the uro-genital system and the thermoregulatory system) and the influence of these changes on the fetus, as well as the fetal response to the exercises (changes to the heartbeat, movement, activity, oxygen levels and blood flow).
