[Evaluation of foetal movement by antenatal cardiotocography (author's transl)]. 1980

H J Kruse, and K U Fehlauer, and H Volkmar

The part played by cardiotocographically recordable foetal movements was studied. The totality of all cardiotocographically, that is objectively, foetal movements together with all movements perceived, subjectively, by the pregnant women concerned was used as reference value. - A HP-2100S computer was used in on-line evaluation. Those foetal movements perceived by the women concerned were fed into the computer by keyboard input. - Two thirds of all foetal movements were recorded both ways, at one and the same time. A total of 9.1 per cent was not confirmed by the probands, while 27.4 per cent were perceived only by the probands. A total of 72.6 per cent of all foetal movements was recorded by the cardiotocograph, while 80.9 per cent were perceived by the women involved. - Hence, there should be no clinical objection to non-stress testing, but the above data should be taken into account. - As soon as subjectively perceived foetal movements can be objectively marked, the question should be asked for possible superiority of such human perception over tocometry.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D009068	Movement	The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior.	Movements
D011247	Pregnancy	The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.	Gestation,Pregnancies
D011263	Pregnancy Trimester, Third	The last third of a human PREGNANCY, from the beginning of the 29th through the 42nd completed week (197 to 294 days) of gestation.
