This Literature Review highlights the biomechanical effects of vaginal birth on the pelvic floor and the recovery from high risk vaginal delivery. It includes an outline review of biomedical engineering terms.

For this project, I worked with Jessica Chung SPT from the University of WA, Dept. of Rehabilitation Medicine, School of Physical Therapy with an independent study project. A thank you to Timothy Johnson BSE Aerospace, MSE Mechanical for his contributions and interpretation of engineering terminology.
