The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify

Human evolution and the obstetrical dilemma: The pelvic floor hypothesis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth is mechanically difficult because a large‐headed, broad‐shouldered fetus must pass through a comparatively narrow, twisted bony birth canal. Traditional explanations of this “obstetrical dilemma” emphasize the role of bipedal locomotion in inhibiting the evolution of a wider, more spacious pelvis.

Role of Radiofrequency (Votiva, InMode) in Pelvic Floor Restoration

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2019
Background:. Postpartum pelvic floor disorders are estimated to impact 24% of women in the United States. This study describes the use of a radiofrequency device (Votiva, InMode) for postpartum pelvic floor restoration using an electrostimulator to ...

Grooved Surface of the Obturator Internus Muscle With Two Distinct Adjacent Parts

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The specific anatomical features of the obturator internus, particularly those of its medial surface, remain insufficiently characterized. This study investigated the morphology of the obturator internus muscle by focusing on the shape of its medial surface and potential age‐related changes.

Validation of a handheld smartphone markerless method for quantifying thoracolumbar flexion–extension range of motion in horses at trot

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Back pain and poor performance in horses are difficult to assess objectively and thoracolumbar flexion‐extension range of motion (FEROM) is not reliably evaluated by subjective observation alone. A handheld, smartphone‐based markerless computer vision system (RealHorse®; RH) may enable objective clinical and field‐based FEROM ...

The Integral Theory, Pelvic Floor Biomechanics, and Binary Innervation [PDF]

International Neurourology Journal
The pelvic floor biomechanics and sphincter functioning are essential for understanding pelvic floor dysfunction and the pathophysiology of the pelvic organs. The pelvic floor consists of muscles, fascial connections and ligaments.

An external validation study of a practical scoring system for identifying patients at risk of pelvic floor dysfunction following childbirth

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To prospectively evaluate the perineal card, a risk‐based scoring system, for identifying women at increased risk of postpartum urinary incontinence (UI). Methods This prospective observational study included women without previous vaginal delivery who underwent vaginal birth at a tertiary referral center between June 2023 and ...

Assessment and management of dyspareunia in peri‐ and postmenopausal women: A phenotype‐based gynecologic approach

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Dyspareunia in peri‐ and postmenopausal women is common, clinically consequential, and often undertreated in gynecologic practice. Although genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is a frequent contributor, intercourse‐related pain may also reflect vestibular, pelvic floor, dermatologic, inflammatory, treatment‐related, and psychosocial ...

Knowledge and awareness of pelvic floor dysfunction among female medical students: A multicenter cross‐sectional study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Given its high prevalence and risk for delayed recognition and management, this study compared knowledge and awareness of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) between first‐ and fifth‐year female medical students and examined whether knowledge translates into health‐protective behavior.
