Summary

The investigators designed a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility and acceptability of repeated hands-and-knees positioning during labour. The objectives were 1) to provide an estimate of enrollment rates, 2) to assess compliance with the study protocol by participants and care providers, 3) to obtain women's views about their experiences using the hands-and-knees position, and 4) to provide estimates of treatment effects to inform the sample size calculation for a large trial.
