Finite element model focused on stress distribution in the levator ani muscle during vaginal delivery

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: During vaginal delivery, the levator ani muscle (LAM) undergoes severe deformation. This stress can lead to stretch-related LAM injuries. The objective of this study was to develop a sophisticated MRI-based model to simulate changes in the LAM during vaginal delivery. ME...
