Funded Activity Summary

Pelvic organ prolapse - or "prolapse" - is a 'hidden epidemic', affecting almost half of all women who have had a baby. Recently, evidence has emerged that pelvic floor muscle training is an effective treatment for this condition. This improvement is not widely known nor implemented in health care. To reduce the untimely evidence-to-practice gap, rapid implementation of these research findings is required, which will influence clinical care and change health policy.
