Comparison of subjective and objective outcomes between participants undergoing Vojta reflex locomotion (VRL) stimulation and those receiving sham stimulation. The table summarizes categorical data for perceived uterine activity, pain, changes in fetal activity, and other bodily sensations, as well as CTG-evaluated uterine. Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher’s exact test (two-tailed).

Values: Count represents the number of participants within each response category; Column N (%) denotes the proportion within each group. Value = test statistic. Exact significance (2-sided) = corresponding p-value.

CTG – cardiotocography; VRL – Vojta reflex locomotion.
