Abstract :
The main aim of this work is a kinematic and dynamic analysis of the human body during the chair-rise movement in different abdominal load situations. This study especially tries to explain the change from the FSTS (Forward Sit To Stand) to the NSTS (Normal Sit To Stand) strategy observed when abdominal load increases. In this way it will be possible to try to know if there is a connection between the change in strategy and typical worsening of vertebral column pathology in pregnant women
