Abstract

The present prospective study at Charles University Hospital, Pilsen, Czech Republic, enrolled 10 primiparous women at term undergoing non-instrumental vaginal delivery assisted by the same obstetrician between September 2009 and September 2010. A modified hands-poised technique performed concurrently with stereophotogrammetry was used to analyze and quantify perineal deformation and strain at the final stage of delivery.
