The Impairment of Female Pelvic Ligaments and Its Relation With Pelvic Floor Dysfunction: Biomechanical Analysis

摘要: Computational simulation of degeneration or damage on the structures that sustain female pelvic organs may point to how they behave in real-life conditions. This work evaluated effect impairment ligaments by means numerical considering rest and valsalva maneuver The model included several support structures, identified magnetic resonance images from a young healthy female. For each tissue, material properties were obtained literature, best constitutive was chosen for structure. displacement assessed normal ligaments, also when their simulated individually reducing stiffness. evidenced increased damaged similarly what found previous imaging evidence. suited assessing damage. is an important issue simulating aging trauma structures.
