oh, good subject!
Lots been said before, and as you said MM she was on continuous CTG which deos make it hard to move. But also from the incidences I have seen, OP presentations usually end up with epidurals as the pain is so intense, thus making it hard to be mobile as well. Therefore the cascade of intervention has started as the epidual + OP more often than not means that it ends in a forceps/ventouse delivery (from what i have seen). Whereas if women were given good support from the beginning and encouraged in the right way, maybe these things would not happen?
