PONM02Grading strength in manual muscle testing: bespoke works better Conclusion In principle, a uniform muscle grading system is attractive. In practice, bespoke grading works better, possibly because of muscle diversity. Furthermore, MRC grades 1-3, while useful in some disorders, appear less ...
Levator avulsion was diagnosed whenever the examiner was unable to palpate the insertion of the pubovisceral muscle on the inferior pubic ramus and/or whenever a discontinuity between bone and muscle was detected on ultrasound. For clinical grading of levator muscle strength, we used the modified ...
3.2.2. (II) Effect of old age on the immunity patterns The respiratory system undergoes various hormonal, anatomical, physiological and immunological changes with age. Reduced levels of progesterone and estrogen could cause decreased muscular strength, decreased relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle, and...

Measurement of levator ani muscle strength can be done with several tools such as perineometer and digital palpation. However, there is currently no study regarding conformity between tests. The aim of this study is to determine the correlation between tests in POP patients. An analytic ...
