Maternal activity and fetal movement: A scoping review

No literature provides detailed methods for objectively measuring fetal movement during maternal physical activity, highlighting a research gap. We expect to obtain key findings relevant to physical therapy in the NICU by exploring objective methods for measuring fetal movement during maternal activity and investigating fetal responses to maternal activity in future research.

Abstract

No literature provides detailed methods for objectively measuring fetal movement during maternal physical activity, highlighting a research gap. We expect to obtain key findings relevant to physical therapy in the NICU by exploring objective methods for measuring fetal movement during maternal activity and investigating fetal responses to maternal activity in future research.
