The Leopold maneuvers, named after the German obstetrician and gynecologist Christian Gerhard Leopold (1846–1911), are part of the physical examination of pregnant women.[1][2] Four classical maneuvers are used to palpate the gravid uterus systematically. This method of abdominal palpation is of low cost, easy to perform, and non-invasive. It is used to determine the position, presentation, and engagement of the fetus in utero.

Background The aim of this study was to investigate whether a nursing intervention program using abdominal palpation would improve maternal-fetal relationships of pregnant women. Methods The subjects were Japanese women aged less than 40 years with singleton pregnancies. A nursing intervention involving abdominal palpations of Leopold’s Maneuvers was performed for the intervention group (n = 35) in the 30th, 32nd, and 34th weeks’ gestation, while ordinary health-related advice was provided to the control group (n = 73) in the corresponding period. Results At the 30th (baseline) week, no intergroup differences were observed. However, the intervention group showed higher Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI) scores in the 34th (P < 0.01) and 36th weeks (P < 0.05) as well as a higher frequency of talking to the fetus in the 32nd (P < 0.01), 34th (P < 0.01), and 36th weeks (P < 0.05). Furthermore, Fetal position awareness score in the 32nd, the 34th, and the 36th weeks were higher in the intervention group than in the control group (P < 0.001). Conclusions The present findings have suggested that nursing interventions involving abdominal palpations can develop the maternal–fetal relationship. Further random controlled trials are warranted to ascertain this observation.

Objective To evaluate new maneuvers developed by the author for fetal palpation in late pregnancy and comparing them with traditional Leopold’s maneuvers. Methods A total of 224 women with term pregnancy who underwent abdominal palpation by Sharma’s modified Leopold’s maneuvers developed by author using fingers, hands and forehand for better palpation were evaluated and compared with Leopold’s Maneuver. Results The mean age was 24.5 years, mean parity 2.2, mean gestation 38.2 weeks. Sharma’s modified Leopold’s pelvic maneuver could correctly diagnose occipito-anterior position in 95.0% cases as compared to 84.4% by Leopold’s maneuvers (P = 0.04), while it could correctly diagnose occipito-posterior position in 96.3% cases as compared to 66.6% by Leopold’s maneuvers (P = 0.0012). In breech presentation also Sharma’s modified Leopold’s fundal maneuver could correctly diagnose presentation in all cases as compared to 92.9% by Leopold’s maneuvers. While in a transverse and oblique lie, Sharma’s right and left lateral maneuvers could correctly diagnose presentation as well as position of acromion in all cases (100%). Conclusion The new maneuvers for fetal palpation appear to be very simple and accurate method for making out fetal presentation and position in late pregnancy.

e accuracy of clinical estimation with that of ultrasound-guided estimation. This study also evaluated the accuracy of both methods with Body Mass Index (BMI).
METHODS:
This retrospective study was IRB-approved and included singleton pregnancies between 37 and 42 weeks of gestation admitted for labor and delivery, between 2013 and 2014. Included women had ultrasound and clinical estimation of EFW using Leopold's maneuvers. The statistical tests used include McNemar and t-test.
RESULTS:
A total of 102 women were randomly selected, and 1 was excluded for missing data. The mean maternal age was 29.2 (+/-5.9); 25.5% were African American, 25.5% Hispanic, and 39.2% White. Of the 101 women, 42 women had an ultrasound completed within 14 days before birth. The accuracy of clinical EFW and ultrasound EFW within 20% of actual birth weight was 88.1% and 71.3%, respectively, overall (p=0.003); but in women in whom the ultrasound was completed 14 days prior to birth, there was no difference (p=0.45). BMI has no significant effect on the accuracy of EFW via either method.
CONCLUSION:
In our sample, there is no significant difference in accuracy of clinical and ultrasound EFW. Obstetricians should continue to teach and practice Leopold's maneuver because of its practicality, availability, and lack of cost compared to ultrasound-guided estimation.
