Summary

This study tests whether small wearable sensors can accurately track movement and walking during the first stage of labor in women using low-dose epidural pain relief. Researchers aim to understand how labor and epidurals affect gait, which could help predict fall risk and monitor labor progress. The study involves 30 pregnant women at full term who are already receiving low-dose epidurals with the option to walk.
