This article examines the risks of damage to the pelvic floor that are associated with pregnancy and delivery. It will aim to dispel some myths about pelvic floor exercises and pregnancy and will look at the latest recommendations about pelvic floor muscle exercise.

Hypothesis / aims of study Studies report that whole-body vibration (WBV) recruits about 95-97% of the muscle fibers, due to the oscillations generated by the vibrating platform, which can enable both surface and deep muscles. Lauper (2009) reports that the active vibration the muscles of the pelvic floor (PFM) which may improve your reflex stimulation and synergistic [1,2]. The objective of th...

Pelvic floor and perineum muscles play an important role in the formation of apparatus supporting pelvic organs. The functional insufficiency myofascial structures frequently leads to development urinary fecal incontinence, erectile dysfunction, prolapse internal organs, perineal hernias formation. Back 20th century, morphologists focused on skeletal perineum, highlighting their leading organs ...

AIMS Due to their contribution to modulation of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and stiffness of the sacroiliac joints, the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) have been argued to provide a contribution to control of the lumbar spine and pelvis. Furthermore, as IAP is modulated during respiration this is likely to be accompanied by changes in PFM activity. METHODS In order to evaluate the postural and ...

The pelvic floor muscles (PFM) are part of the trunk stability mechanism. Their function is interdependent with other muscles of this system. They also contribute to continence, elimination, sexual arousal and intra-abdominal pressure. This paper outlines some aspects of function and dysfunction of the PFM complex and describes the contribution of other trunk muscles to these processes. Muscle ...

Background: Among women urinary incontinence (UI) is the most familiar problem and complain of lower symptoms in has found between 15% 55%. It a symptom with lot influence on quality life majorly their community-based, confidential sexual domains. Aim: To see impact among females receiving pelvic floor muscles strengthening exercises for incontinence. Study design: Cross-sectional study. Method...

OBJECTIVES Pelvic floor tension myalgia may contribute to the symptoms of male patients with chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS). Therefore, measures that diminish pelvic floor muscle spasm may improve these symptoms. Based on this hypothesis, we enrolled 19 patients with CPPS in a 12-week program of biofeedback-directed pelvic floor re-education and bladder training. METHODS Pre-treatment an...

PURPOSE to evaluate the prevalence of urinary symptoms and association between pelvic floor muscle function and urinary symptoms in primiparous women 60 days after vaginal delivery with episiotomy and cesarean section after labor. METHODS a cross-sectional analysis was conducted on women from an out patient clinic in São Paulo state, Brazil, 60 days after delivery. Pelvic floor muscle functio...

Neural control of pelvic organs is affected by a unique coordination of somatic and autonomic motor nervous systems. Sensory information and feedback is supplied by both visceral and somatic sensory fibers. The anatomical features of the pelvic floor and perineal muscles, and their innervation are described. Altogether more detailed information is known in humans on the peripheral innervation a...
