Pelvic floor function is independently associated with pelvic organ prolapse
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2009Objective To investigate the risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse (POP), including physical activity, clinically measured joint mobility and pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function.Design One‐to‐one age‐ and parity‐matched case–control study.Setting Akershus university hospital and one outpatient physiotherapy clinic in Norway.Population Forty‐nine ...

Maintaining sexual function after pelvic floor surgery
Climacteric, 2019Sexual dysfunction in women with prolapse and incontinence is well documented in the literature, but the impact of treatment, particularly surgical correction, remains very limited and confusing. Age, on the other hand, has been shown to be an independent risk factor for deteriorating sexual function, with all aspects of the sexual function (i.e ...

[Functional anatomy of the pelvic floor].
Progres en urologie : journal de l'Association francaise d'urologie et de la Societe francaise d'urologie, 2010The pelvic floor is the support of the pelvic visceras. The levator ani muscle (LA) with its two bundles (pubo- and ilio-coccygeus) is the major component of this pelvic floor. LA is formed essentially by type I fibers (with high oxidative capability and presence of slow myosin) as in postural muscles.

[Functional MRI of the pelvic floor].
Radiologie (Heidelberg, Germany), 2022Due to the complexity of pelvic floor dysfunctions and the frequent interdisciplinary findings, dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide valuable (additional) information for the clinical examination in other disciplines through a comprehensive morphological and functional representation of the pelvic floor.

Cinedefecography in Functional Pelvic Floor Disorders
2009Cinedefecography is one of the most important exams to be performed in patients with pelvic floor dysfunction. Its popularity has rapidly increased compared with other routine studies for evaluating anorectal disorders, as it is inexpensive and relatively easy to perform.

Functional MRI of the Pelvic Floor
2007Taking all the above-mentioned into account, indications for functional cine MRI still remain controversial. The method itself is not yet standardized, and so far only a 2D approach for functional imaging of the pelvic floor exists. With the advance of fast “parallel imaging” a stack of two to three slices within the same acquisition time seems ...

Incontinence. The pelvic floor function.
Australian family physician, 1989The most commonly found contributing factor in incontinence is weakness of the pelvic floor muscles. This is true for patients with stress incontinence and for patients in need of a bladder retraining programme. Simple assessment and strengthening procedures for these muscles give the general practitioner a powerful tool for treating and preventing ...

Functional anatomy of the pelvic floor
Urologia Journal, 1992— The anatomy of the pelvic floor is revaluated from a functional viewpoint. The normal topographic seat of pelvic viscera is guaranteed by two systems: the support system and the suspension system. The first is represented by muscle and aponeurotic structures of the pelvic floor. The second by ligaments dependent on the endopelvic fascia.
