Objective To evaluate the efficacy of the hands and knees position during the first stage of
labour to facilitate the rotation of the fetal head to the occiput anterior position. Design …

Background The occipito-posterior (OP) fetal head position during the first stage of labour
occurs in 10-34% of cephalic presentations. Most will spontaneous rotate in anterior position …

Background Foetal occipto-posterior position during labour can contribute to negative
outcomes. Encouraging women to adopt positions utilising thigh flexion with the aim of …

OBJECTIVE Persistent occiput posterior and occiput transverse positions are associated
with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. The objective of this study was to assess if …

Background: Hands‐and‐knees positioning during labor has been recommended on the
theory that gravity and buoyancy may promote fetal head rotation to the anterior position and …

Background: The fetal occiput posterior position poses challenges in every aspect of
intrapartum care—prevention, diagnosis, correction, supportive care, labor management …

Background Fetal occiput posterior positions are associated with poorer maternal outcomes
than occiput anterior positions. Although methods that include instrumental and manual …

Occipito-posterior presentation represents 10 to 34% of cephalic presentations in early
labor. Spontaneous rotation during labor to occipito-anterior mode occurs in most cases, but …

Introduction Fetal occiput posterior (OP) positions account for 15 to 20% of cephalic
presentations and are associated with poorer maternal and neonatal outcomes than occiput …

Background Persistent occiput posterior position in labor is associated with adverse
maternal and perinatal outcomes. Prophylactic manual rotation from the occiput posterior …
