ANTHROPOMETRIC CHANGES IN WOMEN'S BODY DIMENSIONS DURING PREGNANCY AND THE DESIGN OF AN IMPROVED PRENATAL SUPPORT DEVICE
Abstract
The article presents a comprehensive analysis of anthropometric changes observed in the female body during pregnancy. The dynamics of body weight increase, as well as significant changes in chest, waist, abdominal, and hip circumferences, have been studied using experimental methods. The theoretical foundations for designing ergonomically and physiologically adaptable clothing structures for pregnant women are investigated. The paper provides data on the physical and mechanical properties of existing prenatal support devices, as well as technical sketches and advantages of an improved prenatal support device.
