Summary

A randomized clinical trial will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of using the Swiss Ball as a resource that reduces the length of labor time. The study will be conducted in the Low Risk Labor and Delivery sector of (Instituto Materno Infantil Professor Fernando Figueira) IMIP, which has a team of obstetric nurses, medical coordination and physical therapy support. The study population will be composed of low risk parturients admitted to the sector. Parturients who meet the inclusion criteria after signing the Informed Consent Form will be allocated into two groups: Group A (experimental) and Group B (control). Group A will be encouraged to use the Swiss Ball through pelvic movements, and Group B will go through the usual routine. Study results will be evaluated by assistants during labor and immediately after delivery.
