Modelling of Soft Connective Tissues to Investigate Female Pelvic Floor Dysfunctions

Figure 7

Effects of tissue impairment (reduced stiffness) on the vertical movement of the UVJ for the impairment of (a) all connective tissues (fasciae and ligaments) (b) and caused by individually impaired ligaments. Maximum organ dislocation is achieved due to weakness in fasciae rather than the ligaments.
