Biomechanical study of the female pelvic floor dysfunction using the finite element method. Bhattarai, A., Frotscher, R., & Staat, M. In YIC GACM 2015, 3rd ECCOMAS Young Investigators Conference, 6th GACM Colloquium, Aachen, Germany, July 20-23, 2015, Aachen, Germany, 2015. ZSCC: 0000004

Pelvic floor dysfunction is considered to be a long run sequel of injuries of the weak pelvic supporting structures during vaginal delivery and their laxity in old age. Besides immediate effects, it becomes a socially embarrassing health issue in the form of incontinence and prolapse. To validate such clinical outcomes and to highlight the importance of supporting ligaments and fascias in the maintenance of continence as suggested Petros' integral theory, computational studies are carried out on a 3D finite element pelvic floor model.
