Pelvic floor health workshops have previously been shown to be effective in improving postpartum knowledge, performance of pelvic floor muscle exercises, and bowel-specific quality of life. Group learning through a class focused on behavioral modification and pelvic floor muscle exercises for women with urinary incontinence, has been shown to be an effective means to educate women about urinary incontinence management. The PAKS study hopes to demonstrate whether Spanish-speaking women that undergo an informative workshop on pelvic floor disorders via video in Spanish are more likely to raise their level of knowledge surrounding pelvic floor disorders and improve the pelvic floor symptoms.
The leva and PFDx devices accurately reflect pelvic floor motion consistent with TPUS evaluation. During a voluntary PFM contraction, the change in angle from a position of rest to maximal effort that is detected by each device is positively correlated with TPUS measurements and Modified Oxford scores.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of commercially available genital vibrator use on sexual health, female pelvic floor disorders, and overall quality of life among a diverse population of women.
The pelvic floor serves as stability and support as it is the postural balance and core resource base for the pelvic organs. A dysfunction in the organs in this area can affect the pelvic floor muscles, the functioning of an organs in the muscles. Incontinence organ prolapse, pelvic pain and sexual problems may occur when the support or stability of the pelvic floor is impaired. Pelvic floor novelization is not always seen weakness. Sometimes excessive contractions and excessive activity in muscle tone can be seen. Stress and anxiety-related tension are the main causes of pelvic floor dysfunctions. Involuntary contractions and excessive muscle tone in the pelvic floor muscles cause chronic pelvic pain syndrome, constipation and dyssynergic defecation problems. Some of these patients have complaints of tightening teeth in the temporamandibular joint, grinding teeth at night, together with contractions in the pelvic floor. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of pelvic floor improvement on tinnitus level as a result of dysfunctional condition in temporamandibular joint with treatment practices of pelvic floor patients with excessive muscle activity.
In this study, the effects of the external electrical stimulation (EES) added to pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) on stress urinary incontinence (SUI) were investigated.
Background: Pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain (PGP) can appear during pregnancy, directly after labour or can be delayed to 3 weeks postpartum. Pain is experienced between the posterior iliac crest and the gluteal fold, particularly in the vicinity of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ). The pain may radiate in the posterior thigh and can also occur in conjunction with/or separately in the symphysis. The endurance capacity for standing, walking, and sitting is diminished. The diagnosis of PGP can be reached after exclusion of lumbar causes. The pain or functional disturbances in relation to PGP must be reproducible by specific clinical tests. Lack of accurate and early diagnosis of the PGP postpartum may contribute to development of chronic condition, lowering quality of life years after delivery. There is uncertainty regarding the association between the function of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM), diastasis recti and postpartum pelvic girdle pain (PGP). Although widely researched abroad, there is a paucity in research about biopsychosocial profile of women with postpartum PGP in Poland. Objectives: The aim of this one-to-one matched case-control study it to examine whether there is any difference in PFM function and diastasis recti between women with and without clinically diagnosed PGP. Additionally, differences in biopsychosocial profile (depression, anxiety, stress, catastrophizing and kinesiophobia) will be assessed. Materials and methods: Because of low incidence of researched condition, a case control study will be the study design of choice. Women 6-24 weeks after delivery with postpartum PGP will be matched with those with no PGP. Subjects' assessment will consist of palpation examination of diastasis recti (inter-recti distance) and pelvic floor muscles. Perineometry of the pelvic floor will also be conducted. Additionally, several questionnaires for the assessment of mental processing will be used: Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21, Pain Catastrophizing Scale and Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia. Participants will be matched according to age, parity and time postpartum. Expected results: To our knowledge, postpartum pelvic girdle pain has not been extensively studied in Poland so far. The study will bring information about the possible associations with postpartum PGP. We hypothesize that the study will confirm our clinical observations about pelvic floor dysfunction and maladaptive mental processing in women with postpartum PGP.
After having a baby, there are some expected changes in pelvic floor function. However, tearing of the pelvic floor, having a large baby and needing a vacuum or forceps to deliver the baby put women at risk for having pelvic floor disorders. Our study aims to see if, in women who had a high risk for pelvic floor disorders, a pelvic floor education workshop four weeks after delivery can improve pelvic floor disorders compared to those that did not have a workshop.
The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of pelvic floor physical therapy during pregnancy on delivery and the impact on the woman's body and function. Currently there have not been any studies to our knowledge that have examined this relationship and the outcomes for the pregnant patient. The current research that is available is on pelvic floor training and perineal massage during pregnancy with positive outcomes. The questions we are looking to answer include: 1. Does pelvic floor physical therapy during pregnancy decrease the severity of perineal trauma during delivery? 2. Does pelvic floor physical therapy during pregnancy decrease the length of the second stage of labor (pushing)? 3. Does pelvic floor physical therapy during pregnancy decrease the occurrence of emergency C-section?
The multimodal therapy of gynecological malignancies and breast cancer often leads to an impairment of the pelvic floor function. This has a major impact on the quality of life of cancer patients. The aim of the study is to record and analyze the potential subjective impairment of the bladder, bowel and sexual function under systemic tumor therapy as well as possible influencing factors by means of validated disease-specific questionnaires. to find possible starting points for the prevention and treatment of the symptoms.
