- Abstract
The article presents a study which evaluates the reliability and validity of new ultrasound parameters for quantifying pelvic floor muscle contraction. It notes that 209 women with urodynamic stress incontinence undergone intravaginal digital palpation of pelvic muscle and an ultrasound assessment. The study reveals that elevated bladder neck distance and shortened sagittal hiatal diameter appear to be reliable and valid methods for quantifying pelvic muscle contraction.
