Abstract
Breech presentation occurs in 2–4% of all pregnancies and is associated with increased neonate morbidity and mortality. While the incidence of breech presentation appears to be similar cross-culturally, the West and East have strikingly different explanatory models for its occurrence. The West posits that breech presentation is due to a mechanical problem related to the mother or the infant. The East posits that breech presentation is due to impaired psycho-social-cultural relationships. In this presentation the published evidence for each paradigm is reviewed and original data from The Breech Baby Study are presented followed by evidence for clinical intervention.
