Biomechanical Integrity of the Female Pelvic Floor: A Comparison of Military with Civilian Women
Collected data suggest a negative association between high-intensity physical training, common in the military, and urogynecological health, compared to that of the civilian cohort with the same demographic. Biomechanical markers have been identified that can objectively detect deterioration of the pelvic floor compared to normal conditions. Women's health in the military requires significant attention and advanced quantitative diagnostic techniques.
