چکیده
Pelvic floor muscles are multilayered muscle complex that forms the base of the abdominal-pelvic cavity and contribute to pelvic contents support 1 . Widely described in literature, the delivery is considered responsible for many urogynaecological dysfunctions 2 . The aim of this study is to compare pelvic floor electrical activity between nulliparous and postpartum women. And also investigate, if the type of delivery may alter the contractile response of this muscles group with surface electromyography (EMG).
