Neuro-electrophysiological Research In Pelvic Floor Dysfunction And Study On Pelvic Floor Muscle Function

Objectives:to study the neurophysiological characteristics of Pudendal nerve in PFD women compared with normal subjectsMethod:Ten patients with SUI,ten with uterus prolapse,ten with both uterus prolapse and SUI,ten normal subjects participated in this study. The PNTML and Camps were obtained through the EMG test.Result:A statistically significant difference was found in the PNTML time between patients with PFD and the control group,while no significant difference of the compound motor action potential in all the groups.Conclusions:The patients with PFD present a demylinating injury in the Pudendal nerve and the injury hasn't reached the axons. Objectives:to investigate the neurophysiological characteristics of perineal nerve in PFD women.Method:Ten patients with SUI,ten with uterus prolapse,ten with both uterus prolapse and SUI participated in this study.The PeNTML and Camps were obtained through the EMG test.Results:The PeNTML was significantly shorter in the women with uterus prolapse than those with SUI(with or without) uterus prolapse.Conclusions:the PeNTML can be used to suggest the possibility of Occult SUI Objectives:to compare the PFM function in pelvic floor dysfunction women and controlsMethod:Vaginal palpation and dynamometric measurements were used to access the PFM strength of ten women suffering from SUI,ten uterus prolapse,ten uterus prolapse complicating with SUI and ten normal subjects.Contraction duration and speed of PFM was compared between incontinent and continent women.Results:The inter-rater reliability for vaginal palpation was 0.549 measured by Spearman's rho.The PFD women demonstrated lower force of PFM.Conclusions:Vaginal palpation is simple and valid to measure PFM strength.The PFM function is impaired in PFD women.
