Quantification of abdominal and pelvic floor muscle synergies in response to voluntary pelvic floor muscle contractions

Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2008
The relative levels of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) activation and pressure generated by maximum voluntary PFM contractions were investigated in healthy continent women. The normal sequence of abdominal and PFM activation was determined. Fifteen women performed single and repeated maximum voluntary PFM contractions in supine, sitting and standing.

Pelvic floor muscle function in women with pelvic floor dysfunction

International Urogynecology Journal, 2013
The objectives of this study were to investigate the level of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function in women with pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) referred by gynaecologists and urologists for in-hospital pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), and to identity associated factors for a low level of PFM function.Data of women with PFD referred to a PFMT ...
