Abstract Introduction The terminology for female and male pelvic floor muscle (PFM) assessment has expanded considerably since the first PFM function dysfunction standardization of document in 2005. New terms have entered reports, new investigations to measure been developed. An update this was required comprehensively their definitions, describe method interpretation finding, standardize procedures aid diagnostic decision making. Methods This report combines input members Standardisation...
Urinary incontinence is one of the most prevalent health concerns experienced by older women (aged ≥60 years). Individual pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) recommended first-line treatment for stress or mixed urinary in women, but human and financial resources limit its delivery. Whether group-based PFMT performs as well individual this population remains unclear.To assess efficacy relative to women.The Group Rehabilitation Physiotherapy (GROUP) study a single-blind, randomized,...
Abstract Aims To compare the pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function in continent and stress urinary incontinent women using dynamometric measurements. Methods Thirty 59 suffering from incontinence (SUI), aged between 21 44 parous, participated study. An instrumented speculum was used to assess static parameters of PFM: (1) passive force at 19 24 mm vaginal aperture (antero‐posterior diameter), (2) maximal strength a self‐paced effort both apertures, (3) rate development number contractions...
Abstract Prematurity is known to affect the development of various neurophysiological systems, including maturation pain and cardiac circuits. The purpose this study was see if numerous painful interventions, experienced soon after birth, counterirritation‐induced analgesia (triggered using cold pressor test) later in life. A total 26 children, between ages 7 11 participated study. Children were divided into three groups, according their birth status (i.e., term‐born, born preterm exposed or...

In Brief OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness multimodal supervised physiotherapy programs with absence treatment among women persistent postnatal stress urinary incontinence. METHODS: This a single-blind randomized controlled trial. Sixty-four incontinence were randomly assigned 8 weeks either pelvic floor rehabilitation (n = 21), abdominal muscle training 23), or control non–pelvic 20). primary outcome measure consisted modified 20-minute pad test. secondary...
Abstract Aims The objective of this study was to evaluate the reliability strength and endurance dynamometric measurements pelvic floor musculature (PFM). Materials Methods Twenty‐nine female participants, primipara multipara, aged between 27 42 presenting different severity levels stress urinary incontinence (SUI), participated in study. They were evaluated using a new dynamometer, an instrumented speculum based on strain‐gauged technology. Strength evaluations repeated three successive...
The sexual pain disorders dyspareunia and vaginismus are highly prevalent yet misunderstood women's health problems. We have proposed the adoption of a treatment approach integrating pelvic floor rehabilitation cognitive-behavioral therapy in order to target multidimensional aspects these complex conditions. Looking back on work that has been published area since we introduced this model 2003, present paper focuses progress achieved then, with an emphasis musculature psychological factors....
Background A large proportion of gynecological cancer survivors suffer from pain during sexual intercourse, also known as dyspareunia. Following a multimodal pelvic floor physical therapy (PFPT) treatment, reduction in and improvement psychosexual outcomes were found the short term, but no study thus far has examined whether these changes are sustained over time. Purpose To examine improvements pain, functioning, distress, body image concerns, anxiety, catastrophizing, painful intercourse...
Abstract Aim To compare vaginal digital assessment with dynamometric measurements for determining the maximal strength of pelvic floor muscles (PFM). Materials and Methods Eighty‐nine women aged between 21 44 participated in study. An experienced physiotherapist evaluated PFM these using modified Oxford grading system (six categories, range 0–5) measurements. The mean forces obtained all instrumented speculum each category were compared ANOVAs. Spearman's rho coefficients calculated to...
