简要总结
A study reported that of 250 eligible females: 24% of them were unable to correctly perform the pelvic muscle exercises initially. Of the participants who reported current practice of pelvic muscle exercises, 23% of them performed the exercise incorrectly.
Identifying commonly performed exercises that can also effectively activate the pelvic muscles, even if the patient is not aware, would be an important contribution.
Various studies have found that the surrounding musculature supports the effective functioning of the pelvic floor, particularly the obturator internus muscle that functions as a hip external rotator. Multiple studies show positive effects of abdominal musculature training on improving the strength of pelvic floor musculature thus improving its strength and reducing the symptom of conditions such as urinary incontinence
