Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Bioelectrical activity of pelvic floor muscle measured using an endovaginal electrode, an EMG apparatus and integrated computer software. An assessment of the bioelectrical activity of pelvic floor muscle using the Glazer protocol. The measurements will be performed before the therapy, after the therapy, i.e. 8 weeks later and 4 and 12 weeks after the end of intervention	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Assessment of the bioelectric activity of the pelvic floor muscles using the glazer protocol: 1. One 60-second rest (pre-baseline) - the women were instructed to feel the pelvic floor in a resting position. 2. Five 2-second phasic (flick) contractions with a 2-second rest in-between - the women were instructed to contract the PFM as quickly as possible, and then quickly and fully relax the PFM immediately after contraction. 3. Five 10-second tonic contractions with a 10-second rest in-between - the women were instructed to contract the PFM as strongly as possible, maintain the contraction for 10?seconds, and then fully relax the PFM after contraction, remaining relaxed for 10?seconds. 4. One 60-second endurance contraction - the women were instructed to contract the PFM at such a level as to hold it for 60? seconds. 5. One 60-second rest (post-baseline) - the women were instructed to feel the pelvic floor in a resting position. The measurements will be performed before the therapy, after the therapy and 1 and 3 months after the end of the intervention.	—
