Title: Influence of pregnancy on static and dynamic postural stability Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the influence of pregnancy on the static and dynamic postural stability using the dynamic computerized posturography. Another objective of this thesis is to determine which one of sensory inputs (visual, somatosensory, vestibular) plays the most important role in the control of postural stability during pregnancy with the help of various posturographic tests. Based on literature search to characterize changes in the organism of pregnant woman, which are responsible for postural instability in gravidity. Methods: One healthy pregnant woman was enrolled in this longitudinal study. She was evaluated in terms of static and dynamic postural stability using the dynamic computerized posturograph NeuroCom®. Posturographic tests were performed once every two or three weeks in the period from the 16th week of pregnancy until the 37th week of pregnancy and consisted of a battery of diagnostic tests of the module Smart EquiTest System. The data were processed in the program NeuroCom Data Analyzer. Results: The results demonstrate that there is an increased reliance on sensory inputs to maintain balance during pregnancy. Limitation of visual and proprioceptive components of stability...
