Pregnant women´s lordosis

Details and patient eligibility

About

The study consists of collecting measurement data of the rachis in pregnant women and the subsequent outcome of her delivery.

This will make it possible to validate a non-invasive imaging technique through software that can be used to study this anatomical curve proposing a new measurement method for the angle of lordosis.

Finally, with the research data, the investigators will try to find a correlation between these variables (angle of lordosis and delivery outcome.
