Pelvic Floor Muscles
33 Normal bowel continence is a complex process that involves the coordinated interaction between multiple different neuronal pathways and the pelvic and perineal musculature.1 The importance of the anatomic relationships of the pelvic floor in maintaining normal continence has been suggested since the 1950s.2 Yet the complex series of neural and behavioral-mediated interactions, combined with ...
متن کامل1 WHITEPAPER: EMG REGISTRATION OF PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLES Whitepaper: EMG Registration for Pelvic Floor Muscles
Introduction Electromyography (EMG) is a useful and objective tool to obtain information about the muscle activity(1). A muscle consists of muscle fibres. The ends of the efferent nerves are connected to the muscle fibres through motor units. Every single motor unit serves several muscle fibres. An electrical impulse, traveling through the nerves and motor units, cause a depolarisation (contrac...
متن کاملComparison of active and passive forces of the pelvic floor muscles in women with and without stress urinary incontinence.
BACKGROUND The reduction of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) strength is a major cause of stress urinary incontinence (SUI). OBJECTIVES To compare active and passive forces, and vaginal cavity aperture in continent and stress urinary incontinent women. METHOD The study included a total of thirty-two women, sixteen continent women (group 1--G1) and sixteen women with SUI (group 2--G2). To eval...
متن کاملReliability of Eelectromyography of Abdominal Muscles During Abdominal Manoeuvre with and without Pelvic Floor Muscle Contraction
Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability of electromyography measurements of abdominal muscles activity during different manoeuvres (pelvic floor muscle (PFM) contraction, abdominal hollowing and abdominal bracing with and without PFM contraction) in subjects with and without chronic low back pain (LBP). Materials & Methods: In this methodology research 21 subjec...
