Anthropometric models are used when body center of mass motion is calculated for assessment of dynamic balance. It is currently unknown how body segments and posture change in the postpartum period. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the longitudinal changes in anthropometry, center of mass, and standing posture postpartum.
