Transperineal ultrasound versus digital palpation: Identifying key parameters for objective pelvic floor muscle contraction assessment

Transperineal ultrasound demonstrated high reliability and provided an objective, non-invasive method for assessing pelvic floor muscle contractility. While digital palpation assessed functional strength, ultrasound visualized structural displacement during contraction. The two methods addressed complementary aspects of pelvic floor function, and their combined use enhanced clinical assessment.
