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 ... -
Does a ring pessary in situ influence the pelvic floor muscle function of women with pelvic organ prolapse when tested in supine?
Bø, Kari; Majida, Memona; Engh, Marie Ellstrøm (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011-11-16)Introduction and hypothesis It has been suggested that repositioning pelvic organ prolapse (POP) by pessary support may improve pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function. The aim of the present study was to compare vaginal resting ... -
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- ... -
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. ... -
Test-retest reliability of pelvic floor muscle contraction measured by 4D ultrasound
Brækken, Ingeborg Hoff; Majida, Memona; Engh, Marie Ellstrøm; Bø, Kari (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-10-17)Aims: The aim of the present study was to evaluate test-retest measurements of functional aspects of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) contraction using four dimensional (4D) ultrasound. Methods: Seventeen females preformed three ... -
Validation of three-dimensional perineal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging measurements of the pubovisceral muscle at rest
Majida, Memona; Brækken, Ingeborg Hoff; Bø, Kari; Benth, Jurate S.; Engh, Marie Ellstrøm (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-02-22)Objective: To compare biometric measurements of the pubovisceral muscle during rest, measured using transperineal three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Methods: In this prospective study, ...
