Fetal akinesia

Last revised by Daniel J Bell on 30 Mar 2021

Fetal akinesia essentially means a complete lack of fetal movement (cf. fetal hypokinesia where fetal movement is less than expected). The significance of detecting fetal akinesia in a live fetus is that it can be associated with a fetal akinesia deformation sequence.
