Are hypopressive and other exercise programs effective for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse?
Bø, Kari; Anglès‑Acedo, Sònia; Batra, Achla; Brækken, Ingeborg Hoff; Chan, Yi Ling; Jorge, Cristine Homsi; Kruger, Jennifer; Yadav, Manisha; Dumoulin, Chantale (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction and hypothesis: Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is effective for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP), but other exercise programs have also been promoted and used. The aim of this review was to ... -
Can the Paula method facilitate co-contraction of the pelvic floor muscles?: a 4D ultrasound study
Bø, Kari; Hilde, Gunvor; Stær-Jensen, Jette; Brækken, Ingeborg Hoff (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-11-23)Introduction and hypothesis: The aim was to compare constriction of the levator hiatus (LH) and reduction of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) length during instruction of the Paula method (contraction of ring musculature of ... -
Constriction of the levator hiatus during instruction of pelvic floor or transversus abdominis contraction: a 4D ultrasound study
Bø, Kari; Majida, Memona; Engh, Marie E.; Brækken, Ingeborg Hoff (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-09-20)A new theory claims that the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) can be trained via the transversus abdominis (TrA). The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of instruction of PFM and TrA contraction on constriction ... -
International urogynecology consultation chapter 3 committee 2; conservative treatment of patient with pelvic organ prolapse: Pelvic floor muscle training
Bø, Kari; Anglès-Acedo, Sònia; Batra, Achla; Brækken, Ingeborg Hoff; Chan, Yi Ling; Jorge, Cristine Homsi; Kruger, Jennifer; Yadav, Manisha; Dumoulin, Chantale (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction and hypothesis: This manuscript from Chapter 3 of the International Urogynecology Consultation (IUC) on Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) describes the current evidence and suggests future directions for research ... -
Interobserver repeatability of three- and four-dimensional transperineal ultrasound assessment of pelvic floor muscle anatomy and function
Majida, Memona; Brækken, Ingeborg Hoff; Umek, Wolfgang; Bø, Kari; Saltyte-Benth, Jurate; Ellstrøm Engh, Marie (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2009)Objective: To evaluate the interobserver repeatability of measurement of the pubovisceral muscle and levator hiatus, and the position of related organs, during rest, muscle contraction and Valsalva maneuver using three- ... -
Pelvic floor muscle function and pelvic organ prolapse
Brækken, Ingeborg Hoff (Doctoral thesis, 2010)The overall high prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and related problems indicates a need for identification of risk factors, prevention and treatment strategies. The aetiology of POP is considered to be multifactorial. ... -
Reliability, validity and responsiveness of pelvic floor muscle surface electromyography and manometry
Brækken, Ingeborg Hoff; Stuge, Britt; Tveter, Anne Therese; Bø, Kari (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Introduction and hypothesis: Vaginal surface electromyography (sEMG) is commonly used to assess pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function and dysfunction but there is a lack of studies regarding the assessment properties. The aim ... -
Strenuous physical activity, exercise, and pelvic organ prolapse: A narrative scoping review
Bø, Kari; Anglès-Acedo, Sònia; Batra, Achla; Brækken, Ingeborg Hoff; Chan, Yi Ling; Jorge, Cristine Homsi; Kruger, Jennifer; Yadav, Manisha; Dumoulin, Chantale (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Introduction and hypothesis: High-intensity physical activity and exercise have been listed as possible risk factors for pelvic organ prolapse (POP). The aim of the present study is to conduct a literature review on the ... -
Test-retest and intra-observer repeatability of two-, three- and four-dimensional perineal ultrasound of pelvic floor muscle anatomy and function.
Brækken, Ingeborg Hoff; Majida, Memona; Ellstrøm Engh, Marie; Dietz, Hans Peter; Umek, Wolfgang; Bø, Kari (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2007-06-29)The aims of the present study were to evaluate test–retest intra-observer repeatability of ultrasound measurement of the morphology and function of the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs). Seventeen subjects were tested twice. ... -
