Summary

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing adherence to pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) devices among patients with pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) through structured questionnaires, while simultaneously comparing the effectiveness of different feedback modalities, including non-invasive ultrasound imaging and invasive manometry with electromyography (EMG). By integrating subjective adherence data with objective performance outcomes, the project seeks to evaluate the potential of system-level integration for personalized therapeutic strategies, ultimately enhancing treatment efficacy, improving patient satisfaction, and promoting sustained engagement in PFMT.

Conditions

• Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
• Pelvic Floor Muscle Weakness

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Ultrasound Biofeedback Device	Application of trans-abdominal ultrasonography as a biofeedback tool during pelvic floor muscle training
DEVICE	Manometer Biofeedback Device	Application of manometry as a biofeedback tool during pelvic floor muscle training. The manometer is a routinely used clinical device in hospital-based pelvic floor rehabilitation programs to provide quantitative intravaginal pressure feedback and guide patients in performing correct pelvic floor muscle contractions.
