Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The clinical study includes investigation of the outcomes of surgery for biomechanical restoration of pelvic floor conditions, monitoring pelvic floor conditions under conservative treatment/management, identification and investigation changes of pelvic floor muscle contractions and their significance in characterization of pelvic floor conditions, assessment of tactile imaging reproducibility, including pelvic floor muscle contraction.
