abstract = {Low back pain affects around 50% of pregnant women and presents significant morbidity and persistence for years in 20% of
postpartum women who report that pain. Numerous studies have documented gait alterations during pregnancy and
postpartum. Therefore, an analysis of the relationship between certain gait parameters and low back pain was attempted using
low-cost validated instrumented insoles. This work presents a longitudinal cohort study carried out during routine gynecological
follow-up visits in the first, second, and third trimesters of pregnancy at an Obstetrics and Gynecology Service. Sample size was
62. Plantar pressure data were collected with specially designed instrumented insoles containing four force sensors to measure
peak pressure, center of pressure, and stance phase time in each foot and in each pregnancy trimester. The analysis was carried
out on a two-dimensional level, simultaneously considering the data from both feet using Hotelling’s T2 test. This longitudinal
study detected relationships between certain gait parameter changes and low back pain during pregnancy. It revealed a cyclic
tendency of low back pain prevalence with a maximum in the second trimester and a decrease in the third trimester, which was
correlated with alterations of the pregnant gait: excessive foot pronation and rearfoot pressure increase.},
