The influence of various risk factors on the strength of pelvic floor muscle in women [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2017
Background/Aim. Damage of any element of pelvic floor leads to its functional damages, reflected in the occurrence of urinary incontinence, prolapse of pelvic organs, fecal incontinence and sexual dysfunction.

NeuroVisio SyncPatch: A Skin‐Conformal Multimodal EMG–Motion Sensing Platform for Quantitative Neuromuscular Rehabilitation and Performance Monitoring

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
NeuroVisio SyncPatch integrates skin‐conformal electromyography (EMG) electrodes with camera‐tracked markers to jointly assess muscle activity and three‐dimensional knee kinematics during rehabilitation. Parallel feedback pathways provide real‐time kinematic guidance during movement and post‐trial neuromuscular feedback.

Effect of hip adduction/abduction contraction on pelvic floor in young healthy women

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2022
Pelvic floor muscle training has been reported to be effective in preventing and improving urinary incontinence. Patients must learn to perform pelvic floor muscle contractions without pushing down the pelvic floor by contracting other muscle groups ...

Effect of pain management, supervised exercise, and pelvic floor muscle training on sexual function in women with endometriosis: A randomized controlled trial. [PDF]

Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand
A multimodal intervention including supervised exercise, pelvic floor muscle training, and pain management was associated with modest short‐term improvements in sexual function among women with endometriosis. Findings should be interpreted cautiously due to differences in sexual activity status between groups.

Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

Relationship between hip external rotator strength and pelvic floor muscle function in nulliparous women

Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine
Strengthening of the hip external rotator muscles may improve pelvic floor muscle function. In this study, we examined the relationship between hip external rotator strength and pelvic floor muscle function in nulliparous women.

Exploring Symptom Domains of Postoperative Bowel Dysfunction by Integrating LARS and Wexner Scores: A Longitudinal Factor‐Analytic Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Item‐level factor analysis of the LARS and Wexner scores in 320 patients undergoing sphincter‐preserving rectal resection identified three distinct symptom domains: incontinence, urgency/clustering, and gas control. These domains had different clinical determinants: radiotherapy was associated with greater severity of both incontinence and urgency ...
