Pregnancy Results in Lasting Changes in Knee Joint Laxity.
Very interesting study! Joint laxity is known in #pregnancy but not to what degree. These authors followed mom's from their first trimester into their 5th month post-partum. They hypothesized they would find global laxity.
However they found that joint laxity INCREASED in some directions but DECREASED in others. The concern is that laxity may contribute to pain and joint degeneration.
More research like this needs to happen to keep moms active!
