Pelvic 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. All women were instructed in pelvic floor anatomy and how...

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 کاملClinical evaluation of pelvic floor muscle function in continent and incontinent women.
AIMS The aim of the study was to investigate the reliability of a scoring system for the investigation of voluntary and reflex co-contractions of abdominal and pelvic floor muscles in lying, sitting, and standing positions in continent and incontinent women. METHODS A visual inspection and digital (strength, tone, speed, and endurance) palpation scale was developed to measure the coordination...
متن کاملDifferences in pelvic floor morphology between continent, stress urinary incontinent, and mixed urinary incontinent elderly women: An MRI study.
AIMS To compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pelvic floor musculature (PFM), bladder neck and urethral sphincter morphology under three conditions (rest, PFM maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), and straining) in older women with symptoms of stress (SUI) or mixed urinary incontinence (MUI) or without incontinence. METHODS This 2008-2012 exploratory observational cohort study was co...
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...
