Pelvic Floor Cueing

Uses

How it works

Comparisons

Highlighted claims

• Pelvic floor cueing must distinguish between anterior and posterior pelvic floor targets because similar cues can have different mechanical effects. — Heel-Elevated Squats, Pelvic Floor Mechanics, and Medical Labels
• During inhalation, the posterior pelvic floor and external anal sphincter are emphasized while the anterior pelvic floor relaxes. — Heel-Elevated Squats, Pelvic Floor Mechanics, and Medical Labels
• During exhalation, the external anal sphincter relaxes while the anterior pelvic floor can contract and ascend. — Heel-Elevated Squats, Pelvic Floor Mechanics, and Medical Labels
• Inhalation involves pelvic floor descent to receive abdominal contents, and exhalation involves pelvic floor ascent to help move contents upward. — Heel-Elevated Squats, Pelvic Floor Mechanics, and Medical Labels
• The piston effect describes coordination between the respiratory diaphragm and pelvic diaphragm during inhalation and exhalation. — Heel-Elevated Squats, Pelvic Floor Mechanics, and Medical Labels
• Explicit Kegel cueing may not be necessary if exhalation and abdominal activity generate the desired pelvic floor response. — Heel-Elevated Squats, Pelvic Floor Mechanics, and Medical Labels
