Are hypopressive and other exercise programs effective for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse?
(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 maximal voluntary pelvic floor muscle contraction reduce vaginal resting pressure and resting EMG activity?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Introduction and hypothesis: The purpose of the present study was to assess whether attempts at a maximal voluntary pelvic floor muscle (PFM) contraction can reduce vaginal resting pressure (VRP) and surface EMG activity ... -
Does regular strength training cause urinary incontinence in overweight inactive women? A randomized controlled trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Introduction and hypothesis: Urinary incontinence (UI) is common in women who exercise. We aimed to investigate new onset UI in formerly inactive, overweight or obese women (BMI > 25) participating in three different ... -

Postpartum pelvic floor muscle training, levator ani avulsion and levator hiatus area: A randomized trial
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Introduction and hypothesis: Vaginal delivery may lead to tearing of the levator ani (LA) muscle from its bony insertions (complete LA avulsion) and increased levator hiatus (LH) area, both risk factors for pelvic floor ... -
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 ... -
Reliability, validity and responsiveness of pelvic floor muscle surface electromyography and manometry
(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 ... -
Risk factors for anatomic pelvic organ prolapse at 6 weeks postpartum: a prospective observational study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Introduction and hypothesis: The objective was to identify risk factors for postpartum anatomic pelvic organ prolapse (aPOP) by comparing women with and without aPOP at 6 weeks postpartum with regard to pelvic floor ... -
