Can the Paula method facilitate co-contraction of the pelvic floor muscles?: a 4D ultrasound study
(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
(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?
(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 ... -
Evidence for benefit of transversus abdominis training alone or in combination with pelvic floor muscle training to treat female urinary incontinence: A systematic review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2009-02-03)Aims: Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) has Level A evidence to treat female urinary incontinence (UI). Recently, indirect training of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) via the transversus abdominis muscle (TrA) has been ... -
Pelvic floor muscle function after grade II tears: Surface electromyography test: Retest and differences between nulliparous and primiparous
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background: Vaginal birth is a risk factor for weakening of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) and development of pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD). Perineal tears may decrease PFM function. PFM tone can be assessed with surface ... -
Physiotherapy management of urinary incontinence in females
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Urinary incontinence (UI) is a prevalent and bothersome condition affecting women of all ages. UI can be treated with lifestyle interventions, bladder training, electrical stimulation, surgery and pelvic floor muscle ... -
Postpartum pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic floor muscle training: Secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial of primiparous women
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Introduction and Hypothesis: Pelvic floor dysfunction is common after childbirth. We hypothesize that physiotherapist-guided pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is effective regarding pelvic organ prolapse (POP) symptoms ... -
Recovery of pelvic floor muscle strength and endurance 6 and 12 months postpartum in primiparous women: A prospective cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction and hypothesis: To date there has been scant knowledge on the natural recovery of the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs) after childbirth. The aims of the present study were to investigate whether PFM variables at 6 ... -
