Brief summary
The objective of this study is to verify the correlation between measurements obtained by three different brands of equipment, which intends to elucidate the possibility to compare data obtained by using brazilian perineometers that have different units of measurements with an imported equipment, often used in international studies.
Interventions
The intra-vaginal pressure generated by the contraction of pelvic floor muscle (PFM)of the participants was assessed through three different brands of perineometers (Neurodyn Evolution, SensuPower and Peritron) each consisting of a vaginal probe connected to an electronic device, which indicates the values of contraction.
the Neurodyn, SensuPower and Peritron models have latex, nontoxic PVC and silicone rubber probe respectively
Neurodyn Evolution: Probe Lengh: 9,3 cm, Probe Diameter: 3,2 cm, na
The intra-vaginal pressure generated by the contraction of pelvic floor muscle (PFM)of the participants was assessed through three different brands of perineometers (Neurodyn Evolution, SensuPower and Peritron) each consisting of a vaginal probe connected to an electronic device, which indicates the values of contraction. the Neurodyn, SensuPower and Peritron models have latex, nontoxic PVC and silicone rubber probe respectively Neurodyn Evolution: Probe Lengh: 9,3 cm, Probe Diameter: 3,2 cm, national equipment. Sensu Power: Probe Lengh: 8,2cm, Probe Diameter: 3 cm, national equipment. Peritron: Probe Lengh: 10,8 cm, Probe Diameter:2,8 cm, imported equipment. Each volunteer was evaluated on three alternate days by a single investigator, using a single brand of perineometer daily. In the assessment was required to undertake maximum of 3 contractions of PFM, with an interval of 30 seconds between them, and sustained for 5 seconds. The patients were evulueted through all three different brands of perineometers and the average peak value of the three contractions was used to compare the three equipments results between them.
