Differences in Pelvic Floor Motion Level Among Chinese Women and Construction of an Assessment System

The purpose of this study is to integrate millimeter-wave radar technology to investigate the dynamic movement characteristics of the pelvic floor muscles in patients with different Body Mass Index (BMI) and stress urinary incontinence. Based on this, a large database of pelvic floor movement parameters for Chinese women will be constructed, and a multi-subgroup standard atlas of pelvic floor muscle movement will be established to promote the standardized application of this technology in obstetrics and gynecology clinical assessments. This study also aims to explore the clinical value of pelvic floor movement assessment within the pelvic floor evaluation system, providing directions and insights for establishing a systematic evaluation system and standardizing the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor disorders.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

Pelvic floor movement level assessment

Time frame: 2 minutes

The outcome measure is the pelvic floor movement level assessed on the magnetic stimulator. The patient is asked to perform pelvic floor muscle contraction and relaxation according to voice prompts, and the assessment data is recorded. The outcome includes maximum/mean values, rise time, and recovery time. The reference maximum or mean value is ≥2.0 and ≥1.5 millimeters. The reference rise and recovery time is <0.5 second and <0.7 second.
