Baseline and clinical characteristics of 20 pregnant participants who underwent sham stimulation between 40 + 0 and 41 + 0 weeks of gestation. The control intervention was applied at non-VRL zones. Gestational ages are presented as completed weeks + days. Time from sham stimulation to delivery is expressed in days. Mode of delivery indicates the final method of childbirth.
VRL – Vojta reflex locomotion; C-section – cesarean section.
