Effect Of Variations In Forced Expiration Effort On Pelvic Floor Activation In Asymptomatic Women
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Minimum expiration effort, Moderate expiration effort, and 1 other intervention for Pelvic Floor and Respiration. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The pelvic floor and diaphragm work together in many different functions. Two important functions are breathing and continence. The pelvic floor muscles have to lift and squeeze to maintain continence. Breathing, specifically breathing out, makes the pelvic floor lift. The investigators don't know how much the pelvic floor lifts and squeezes during different types of breathing out. The purpose of this study is to measure pelvic floor lift and squeeze during different types of breathing out.
