Correlation between maximum voluntary contraction and endurance measured by digital palpation and manometry: An observational study

Summary Introduction: Digital palpation and manometry are methods that can provide information regarding maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) and endurance of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM), and a strong correlation between these variables can be expected. Objective: To investigate the correlation betwe...
