Now anyone can kegel: one-time office teaching of pelvic floor muscle exercises

OBJECTIVE In women with pelvic floor disorders, we sought to determine time-to-teach (TTT) correct pelvic floor muscle (PFM) contraction, prevalence of inappropriate muscle contractions, and the association between TTT with PFM strength (PFMS). METHODS From August 2017 to April 2018, patients from 2 pelvic floor disorder clinics participated in a prospective study examining PFMS. Assessment of PFMS was performed to obtain TTT, inappropriate accessory muscle, and Modified Oxford Grading Scale scores for pelvic floor muscle contractions 1 to pelvic floor muscle contractions 2.
