Electromyography of pelvic floor muscles

Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2006
Pelvic floor muscles (PFM) are intimately involved in function of lower urinary tract, the anorectum and sexual functions, therefore their neural control transcends the primarily important somatic innervation of striated muscle, as they are directly involved in "visceral activity".

Pelvic floor muscle function in the standing position in women with pelvic floor dysfunction

International Urogynecology Journal, 2021
Clinical assessment of the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) in a standing position may provide a more valid representation of PFM function experienced by patients in daily life than assessment in the lying position. The primary aim of this study was to examine PFM function in a standing versus a lying position in parous women with any type of urinary ...

Can Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Positions be Selected According to the Functional Status of Pelvic Floor Muscles?

Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice, 2023
ABSTRACT Background: Pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training varies according to the functional status of PFM. It is used to strengthen underactive PFM and relax overactive PFM. Aim: This study aimed to determine the appropriate PFM training positions ...

Pelvic floor muscle function in women presenting with pelvic floor disorders

International Urogynecology Journal, 2009
This observational study was undertaken to determine knowledge, prior instruction, frequency of performance, and ability to perform pelvic floor muscle exercises in a group of women presenting for evaluation of pelvic floor disorders.Three hundred twenty-five women presenting for evaluation of pelvic floor disorders were questioned concerning knowledge

Spinal control of pelvic floor muscles

Experimental Neurology, 1985
A prevalent notion in the literature is that the pelvic floor muscles behave as a unitary mass. We examined this proposition experimentally. In spinal cats, we recorded EMG activity from the following pelvic floor muscles: the sphincter ani externus (SAE), the abductor caudae internus (coccygeus), and the levator ani (pubiocaudalis) muscles.

Modeling the contraction of the pelvic floor muscles

Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, 2015
We performed numerical simulation of voluntary contraction of the pelvic floor muscles to evaluate the resulting displacements of the organs and muscles. Structures were segmented in Magnetic Resonance (MR) images. Different material properties and constitutive models were attributed.
