Nine women undertook maximal, gentle and moderate PFM contractions, maximal and gentle transversus abdominis (TrA) contractions, bracing, Valsalva and head lift, with EMG and other recording equipment in place to assess bladder neck movement. Bladder neck elevation was only observed when the activity of PFM EMG was high relative to the IAP increase.

Rivalta M, Sighinolfi MC, Micali S, De Stefani S, Bianchi G
Sixteen patients with urinary incontinence underwent a complete pelvic floor rehabilitation program (biofeedback, functional electrical stimulation, pelvic floor muscles exercises, and vaginal cones). After pelvic floor rehabilitation, none of the patients reported urine leakage during sexual activity. Resolution of incontinence was achieved in 13 (81.25%) women. Only three (18.75%) patients had positive 1-hour pad test after the treatment.
