Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>This is a pilot study to investigate the validity and reproducibility of our<br /><br>newly introduced automated movement measuring method using 4D ultrasound and<br /><br>Virtual Reality. The reproducibility and validity of the newly introduced<br /><br>movement measuring method in Virtual Reality will be studied.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Movement patterns will be described using volume automated replacement<br /><br>techniques. Movements will be described and analyzed: type of movements<br /><br>(qualitative), movement patterns (including angle of movement, amount of<br /><br>movement = quantitative), time that fetuses move compared to resting moments.<br /><br>Movement patterns will be compared to movement patterns described in other<br /><br>studies using 2D ultrasound.</p><br>
