文摘

Pelvic floor deformation during jump-landing was studied with finite-element method. Pelvic floor deformation during jump-landing differs from that following a Valsalva maneuver. Reduced stiffness of levator ani muscle plays a small role in causing urethral hypermobility. Failure of urethral closure system may be the main factor for athletic incontinence.
