What is The Role of the Pelvic Floor in Respiration: A Multidisciplinary Literature Review about?

## Objective: To conduct an interdisciplinary literature review on the function of the pelvic floor musculature during respiration and its role in phonation, particularly singing. ## Study design: This is a literature review. ## Methods: A literature review was conducted using three electronic databases: pubmed, scopus, and google scholar. an index search was also performed for the nats journal/journal of singing utilizing the keywords from the original search, as these articles did not appear in the original search. peer-reviewed articles from 1985 to 2017 were gathered on the respiratory musculature and/or support mechanisms for phonation (anatomy and physiology). articles that pertained to the muscular function of the respiratory system in breathing and/or phonation were utilized in the review. eighty-five articles were included in this review. ## Results: Breathing and support strategies were variable and nonspecific in much of the singing voice literature. the voice science literature was a rich source of articles written about breathing and support for singing. multiple studies looked at musculature utilized in respiration and breath support and subglottal pressure generation
