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 ...

SUBJECTS AND METHODS Three hundred seventeen women without urinary stress incontinence who were enrolled in a multicenter surgical trial were exam...
متن کاملSitting posture affects pelvic floor muscle activity in parous women: an observational study.
QUESTION Do different sitting postures require different levels of pelvic floor and abdominal muscle activity in healthy women? DESIGN Observational study. PARTICIPANTS Eight parous women with no pelvic floor dysfunction. OUTCOME MEASURES Bilateral activity of pelvic floor muscles (assessed vaginally) and two abdominal muscles, obliquus internus abdominis and obliquus externus abdominis, ...
متن کاملPelvic Floor Muscle Strength and Thickness of the Pelvic Floor Muscles in Continent and Incontinent Nulliparous Women
Methods One hundred and three nulliparous women attending the routine ultrasound scan at 18 weeks of pregnancy were recruited to the study. Background variables and continence status were registered in a structured interview. Women reporting urinary incontinence once per week or more during the last month were categorised as incontinent.

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...
