Application of a new method in the study of pelvic floor muscle passive properties in continent women
(2010-10)The aim of this study was to present a new methodology for evaluating the pelvic floor muscle (PFM) passive properties. The properties were assessed in 13 continent women using an intra-vaginal dynamometric speculum and EMG (to ensure the subjects were ... -
Are hypopressive and other exercise programs efective for the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse?
(Springer, 2022-11-23)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 evaluate the effect of hypopressive ... -
Are stress and mixed urinary incontinence associated with impaired executive control in community-dwelling older women?
(2013-05)Objectives: To assess whether stress or mixed urinary incontinence (UI) is associated with deficits in executive functioning among community-dwelling women. Design: An observational study comparing the performance, using multivariate analyses of variance ... -
Assessment methods in sexual rehabilitation after stroke : a scoping review for rehabilitation professionals
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-03-09)Purpose: The aim was to identify and describe the assessment methods used by rehabilitation professionals to evaluate sexuality for individuals post-stroke, as well as the domains of sexuality addressed. Methods: Seven databases were selected for ... -
Assessment of involuntary PFM contractions in comparison with existing literature and IUGA/ICS terminology reports
(Springer, 2024-02-08)Introduction and Hypothesis Involuntary pelvic floor muscle (PFM) contractions are thought to occur during an increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP). Although no studies have assessed their presence in women with normal pelvic floor (PF) function, ... -
Changes in urethral sphincter size following rehabilitation in older women with stress urinary incontinence
(2015-02)Introduction and hypothesis The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a pelvic floor muscle (PFM) rehabilitation program on the striated urethral sphincter in women over 60 years with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). We hypothesized ... -
Clinical reasoning underlying acute care occupational therapists' assessment of rehabilitation potential after stroke or brain injury : a constructivist grounded theory study
(Wiley, 2021-12-22)Introduction In acute care hospitals, clinicians are expected to rapidly provide recommendations regarding patients' rehabilitation potential and candidacy for postacute rehabilitation. Some studies have investigated factors influencing referral to ... -
Combining scoping review and concept analysis methodologies to clarify the meaning of rehabilitation potential after acquired brain injury
(Taylor and Francis, 2020-06-18)Purpose: Clinicians make judgments about patients’ rehabilitation potential because it is considered by many as a prerequisite for referral to rehabilitation. However, the concept is rarely defined. This research aimed to clarify the concept of ... -
Comparison between transperineal ultrasound and digital dectection of levator ani trauma : can we improve the odds?
(2014-03)Aims To investigate the predictive ability of four digital assessment parameters to detect levator ani (LA) muscle defects (avulsion injury) and compare these to transperineal tomographic ultrasound images. Methods This was an observational ... -
Comparison of two methods for measuring the pubococcygeal line from sagittal-plane magnetic resonance imaging
(2011-11)Aims The pubococcygeal line (PCL) is an important reference line for determining measures of pelvic organ support on sagittal-plane magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, there is no consensus on where to place the posterior point of the PCL. ... -
