Impact of Different Body Positions on Bioelectrical Activity of the Pelvic Floor Muscles in Nulliparous Continent Women

BioMed Research International, 2015
We examined pelvic floor muscles (PFM) activity (%MVC) in twenty nulliparous women by body position during exercise as well as the activation of abdominal muscles and the gluteus maximus during voluntary contractions of the PFMs.

Reliability of pelvic floor muscle electromyography tested on healthy women and women with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction

Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, 2017
Electromyography (EMG) is a well-established method to quantify the relative pelvic floor muscle (PFM) activity. PFM EMG has shown good reliability in healthy women. However, its reliability has not been tested in women with PFM dysfunction. The reliability of EMG analysis methods concerning EMG normalization needs to be determined to assess specific ...

Artificial Intelligence to Determine Correct Midsagittal Plane in Dynamic Transperineal Ultrasound

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.
We have created a model that allows determining the correct midsagittal plane captured by transperineal dynamic ultrasound, with a level of agreement with the expert examiner similar to or higher than that of a junior or senior examiner. ABSTRACT Purpose To create and validate a machine learning(ML) model that allows for identifying the correct capture

Estrogen and Progesterone Exhibit Distinct Yet Coordinated Roles in the Regulation of Tendon Extracellular Matrix Remodeling

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Remodeling of the extracellular matrix (ECM) is required for the proper healing, strengthening, and maintenance of tendon tissue. There are well‐documented sex differences in tendon injury rates and healing outcomes, often attributed to either innate differences in tissue structure and resident cell signaling or the influence of sex hormones ...
