Abstract

Objective: to provide an overview of modern methods for assessing the function and strength of the pelvic floor muscles in women available for clinical practice. The main provisions. Foreign and domestic sources found in free access Internet databases were analyzed. Visual observation, palpation, perineometry, electromyography, ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging measure various aspects of the function and strength of the pelvic floor muscles. Perineometry allows you to accurately measure the force of contractions of the pelvic floor muscles and is an easy and affordable way. Oxford vaginal palpation technologies, biofeedback devices, and ultrasound can be important clinical tools in the practice of a physician to quantify dysfunction of the pelvic floor. Conclusion. The obtained data on methods for assessing the function and strength of the pelvic floor muscles indicate the need for perineometry in clinical practice for the timely diagnosis of pelvic floor insufficiency, which will allow choosing the right rehabilitation method for women of different age groups.
