Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Change the center of gravity in women with grade 3 and 4 genital prolapse, baropodômetro verified by using the method of Gagey & Weber (2000), using the parameters: amplitude of displacement of the center of pressure in the anterior-posterior and medial lateral directions, total length of the trajectory of the displacement of the center of pressure, and the average speed reached by the center of pressure (VM). Was considered statistically significant when p <0.05.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Changes in the electrical activity of the pelvic floor muscle in relation to postural change the parameters found in the assessment of pelvic floor electromyography.
