A randomized trial of the effects of coached vs uncoached maternal pushing during the second stage of labor on postpartum pelvic structure and function
Article Abstract:
The study aims to determine if refraining from coached pushing during the second stage of labor affects postpartum urogynecologic measures of pelvic floor structure and function. It concluded that coached pushing in the second stage of labor significantly affected urodynamic indices, and is associated with a trend towards increased detrusor overactivity.

Levator contraction strength and genital hiatus as risk factors for recurrent pelvic organ prolapse
Article Abstract:
Levator ani contraction strength and genital hiatus measurements with surgical failure in prolapse are correlated. The results revealed that diminished levator ani contraction strength and a widened genital hiatus correlate with an increase in surgical failures in the early postoperative period.

A randomized, double-blinded, sham-controlled trial of postpartum extracorporeal magnetic innervation to restore pelvic muscle strength in primiparous patients
Article Abstract:
The study determined the effects of extracorporeal magnetic innervation (ExMI) on pelvic muscle strength of primiparous patients. It concluded that there was no difference in pelvic muscle strength between patients receiving active or sham ExMI treatments in the early postpartum period.
