| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Objective: We compared the bladder neck movement between during gluteus maximus muscle (GM) contraction and during pelvic floor muscles (PFM) contraction using MRI to design exercise for prevention of post-delivery urinary incontinence.
Results: 24 women were imaged by cine MRI for 5 s during rest and for 10 s during GM contraction, and 10 s during PFM contraction. Using midsagittal cine MRI once every second, we measured bladder neck height from the standard plane and position in the dorsoventral orientation. Correlations in the bladder neck height/position and the uniformity of the distribution of bladder neck height/position during 10 s muscle contractions were statistically analyzed between GM and PFM contractions. The bladder neck height/position and in the distribution of bladder neck height/position were highly correlated between GM and PFM contractions. The present results suggest that GM contraction effectively induces PFM contraction and may be useful for PFM training.
