Fig. 3B. 24-year-old healthy female volunteer. Color scheme: white = bones,
pink = levator ani, yellow = bladder and urethra, blue = vagina, green =
uterus, gray = rectum. Lateral view of same 3D model as in A shows
pubococcygeal line drawn between tip of coccyx and inferior aspect of
symphysis pubis. In healthy women, bladder base (arrow) rests above
pubococcygeal line, and levator plate (arrowheads) is parallel to
pubococcygeal line. Descent of bladder base or caudal inclination of levator
plate indicates pelvic floor laxity.
