Reeducación postural global en gestantes con trastornos biomecánicos de la columna vertebral que acuden al Centro Materno Infantil Alfonso Oramas González del cantón Durán en el período mayo – agosto 2018.

Abstract

Pregnancy is a natural state that leads to physical changes in women to allow fetal growth, producing a postural alteration and the center of gravity, causing pain and discomfort at the level of the spine, which requires physiotherapy intervention within a multidisciplinary care team for women in this stage. The objective of this research is to demonstrate the benefits of the global postural reeducation in gestantes with biomechanical disorders of the spine. This investigation allowed to evaluate the physical functional status of 60 pregnant women who attend the Alfonso Oramas González Maternal Center of the Durán Canton in the period may - august 2018 by means of dynamic postural test, flexibility test, respiratory rate and pain scale, for then apply the most appropriate RPG postures in each case. The methodological design that was used for this study was a quantitative approach, of explanatory scope, of a deductive nature, of pre-experimental and longitudinal type. The results obtained after the application of the RPG were: pain reduction in 68% of the pregnant women, the respiratory frequency was established in a normal range in 67%, and increased flexibility in 85% of them. In conclusion, the global postural reeducation reorganizes the posture, giving greater stability and elasticity of the spine, decreases pain and facilitates the correct respiratory capacity.
