Pelvic floor maximal strength using vaginal digital assessment compared to dynamometric measurements

Abstract: Even if the dynamometric mean forces of the PFM increased across subsequent categories of digital assessment, the force values between two adjacent categories do not differ. This limitation of digital assessment should be considered by clinicians and researchers when choosing treatment orientation and evaluating treatment outcomes.

“…Pain intensity (NRS) a [34] Average pain intensity reported during sexual intercourse Dynamometry [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52], [53] and [54] PFM function Several secondary outcomes are assessed in this study, in line with the IMMPACT consensus recommending a multi-facetted evaluation of pain, and also an evaluation of the impact of pain on function [34]. For each outcome we have selected measure instruments that have excellent validity, reliability and responsiveness to change.…”

“…An intravaginal dynamometric speculum, developed by our team to evaluate PFM function [47], [48], [49] and [50], is also used in this trial. This instrument has been widely assessed for its psychometric properties including its reliability, validity and responsiveness [49], [50], [51], [52], [53] and [54]. PFM dysfunctions identified in women with PVD, namely heightened passive forces, stiffness and lower strength, speed of contraction and endurance [11], are evaluated in this trial.…”

“…Inne parametry, takie jak męczliwość mięś-ni, szybkość kurczenia się i tonus (bierne siły i sztywność), PFM także wykazały dobrą powtarzalność i wiarygodność [65,66]. Używając dynamometrów, można rozróż-nić pacjentki trzymające mocz od pacjentek cierpiących na nietrzymanie moczu [63,67,68]. Liczne badania wykazały dobrą wiarygodność pomiarów dynamometrem.…”

“…Liczne badania wykazały dobrą wiarygodność pomiarów dynamometrem. Maksymalna siła mięśni wykryta za pomocą dynamometru korelowała z palpacją mięśni przez pochwę (skala Oxford, r = 0,727) [68]. Ponadto pomiary dynamometrem podlegały tylko minimalnym wpływom powodowanym przez wzrost ciśnienia śródbrzusznego [66].…”
