Vaginal birth is the major cause of pelvic floor damage. The development of transperineal
ultrasound has improved our understanding of the relationship between vaginal birth and …

The indications for induction of labor have been consistently on the rise. These indications
are mainly medical (maternal or fetal) or social or related to convenience or maternal …

Background Induction of labor is one of the most common interventions in modern obstetrics,
and its frequency is expected to continue to increase. There is inconsistency as to how failed …

Purpose This study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of perineal trauma during
childbirth and to assess the correlations of the pelvic floor dimensions and fetal head station …

Aim The aim of the present study was to evaluate the correlation between the proportional
change of anteroposterior diameter (APD) of levator hiatus from rest to maximum Valsalva …

Smaller pelvic floor dimensions seem to have been an evolutionary need to provide
adequate support for the pelvic organs and the fetal head. Pelvic floor dimension and shape …

Objectives The aim of our study was two‐fold. First, to evaluate the association between the
change in the angle of progression (AoP) on maternal pushing and labor outcome. Second …

Objective To assess the correlation between fetal head regression and levator ani muscle
(LAM) co-activation under Valsalva maneuver. Study design This study was a secondary …

Objective To determine whether visual biofeedback can be used during labor as an effective
tool for shortening the second stage of labor and reducing the need for instrumental delivery …

Abstract Rationale and Objectives Accurate assessment of fetal head station (FHS) is crucial
during labor management to reduce the risk of complications and plan the mode of delivery …
