Abstract: | Introduction and hypothesis Although the bladder neck is elevated during a pelvic floor muscle (PFM) contraction, it descends during straining. This study
aimed to investigate the relationship between bladder neck displacement, electromyography (EMG) activity of the pelvic floor
and abdominal muscles and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) during different pelvic floor and abdominal contractions. |
