“…This analysis suggests that in the third trimester, the plantar arch height is lower than in the first trimester and in the puerperium. This is in line with published findings according to which the height of the arch of the foot tends to decrease in both feet [ 12 , 25 , 31 ]. In this respect, some studies have even observed a degree of permanence in these changes after delivery [ 25 ].…”

The aim of this study is to observe the morphological and postural changes to the foot that take place during pregnancy and the puerperium. Method: In this descriptive, observational, longitudinal study, we analysed 23 pregnant women, with particular attention to morphological and postural aspects of the foot, at three time points during and after pregnancy: in weeks 9–13 of gestation, weeks 32–35 of gestation and weeks 4–6 after delivery. The parameters considered were changes in foot length, the Foot Posture Index (FPI) and the Hernández Corvo Index, which were analysed using a pedigraph and taking into account the Body Mass Index (BMI). The same procedure was conducted in each review. Results: The statistical analyses obtained for each foot did not differ significantly between the three measurement times. A pronator-type footprint was most frequently observed during the third trimester of pregnancy; it was predominantly neutral during the postpartum period. Statistically significant differences between the measurement times were obtained in the right foot for cavus vs. neutral foot type (between the first and third trimesters and also between the first trimester and the puerperium) (in both cases, p < 0.0001). Conclusions: Foot length increases in the third trimester and returns to normal in the puerperium. According to FPI findings, the third trimester of pregnancy is characterised by pronation, while the posture returns to neutrality during the postpartum period. During pregnancy, the plantar arch flattens, and this persists during the puerperium. The incidence of cavus foot increases significantly in the third trimester and in the puerperium.

Civil, onde a mão de obra masculina prevalece, há prováveis implicações no uso de Equipamentos de Proteção Individual (EPIs) por mulheres, pois há estudos que identificam o maior direcionamento desses produtos ao usuário homem na realidade. Um EPI indispensável em canteiros de obras consiste nas botinas de segurança, mas questões na relação entre Antropometria e gênero tornam questionável a usabilidade desses calçados para as mulheres. Este artigo tem como propósito analisar botinas de segurança em relação à adequação ao uso por trabalhadoras da Construção Civil. Para tanto, são reunidas considerações da bibliografia e de normas acerca do referido EPI e, a partir de grupos focais, são descritas contribuições de operárias, técnicas, arquitetas e engenheiras civis de São Luís -Maranhão. Compreende-se que melhorias são necessárias para que botinas de segurança sejam mais adequadas em tamanho, material e, principalmente, conforto para as mulheres.Palavras-chave: Equipamento de Proteção Individual; Ergodesign; Gênero feminino.In Construction, where male labor prevails, there are likely implications for the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) by women, as there are studies that identify the greater targeting of these products to the male user in reality. Safety boots are an indispensable PPE on construction sites, but issues in the relationship between Anthropometry and gender make the usability of these shoes for women questionable. This paper aims to analyze safety boots about to their suitability for use by Civil Construction workers. To this end, considerations from the bibliography and norms about the aforementioned PPE are gathered and, based on focus groups, contributions from woman workers, technicians, architects and civil engineers from São Luís -Maranhão are described. It is understood that improvements are needed so that safety boots are more appropriate in size, material and, above all, comfort for women.
