Women With and Without Self-reported Stress Urinary Incontinence Walk Differently Before and After 16-Ounce Water Consumption
Background:
Women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) use different hip biomechanics during gait than women without SUI.
Objective:
To compare hip angles, moments, and temporal-spatial parameters during gait between women with and without SUI from a control to full-bladder condition.
Study Design:
Case-control study with a repeated-measures design.
Methods:
Hip angles and moments (net forces) of 19 women with SUI and 23 women without SUI were analyzed during the weight acceptance phase of the gait. Mixed-model analyses of variance were used to compare between groups (SUI, without SUI), condition...

Concurrent Validity of Noninvasive Coccygeal Motion Palpation and Transabdominal Ultrasound Imaging in the Assessment of Pelvic Floor Function in Women
Background:
No gold standard exists for assessing pelvic floor muscle (PFM) function. However, a significant correlation exists between digital palpation and transabdominal ultrasound imaging (TAUS), with studies indicating that the coccyx moves during contractions.
Objectives:
To determine concurrent validity of external coccyx motion palpation (CMP) versus TAUS to identify the former's validity in assessing PFM function.
Study Design:
A cross-sectional observational study.
Methods:
Sixty-four women were screened. Those who could perform a PFM contraction were enrolled (n = 37; mean 31.5 years). A...

An International Survey of Women's and Pelvic Health Physical Therapy Organizational Practice
Conclusions:
Practice in women's health physical therapy is evolving, as evidenced by changes in organizational focus on particular patient populations and conditions noted by survey respondents. Findings from this survey may serve as a resource for the development of an updated IOPTPWH “scope of practice” document.

Selected Clinical Characteristics and Determinants of Obstetric Palsy Among Patients With Obstetric Fistula
Conclusion:
There is need to increase public enlightenment and make antenatal care and delivery readily available to reduce obstetric fistula and maternal obstetric palsy. Therapists' awareness of these determinants also aids in clinical diagnosis, prognosis, and prevention. (Source: Journal of Womens Health Physical Therapy)

Pelvic Floor Considerations in COVID-19
Conclusions:
Because of the pervasive nature of this virus, pelvic floor physical therapists should be a part of the rehabilitation team treating these patients once they have become medically stable.

Effect of Exercises and Diet Intervention in Pregnancy on Postpartum Weight Retention and Obesity Markers: Findings in Indian Women
Conclusion:
Interventions of supervised exercises are most effective in reducing the rise of obesity markers in young Indian women up to 2 months postdelivery. Home exercise and diet care could be the next best intervention. (Source: Journal of Womens Health Physical Therapy)

Fracture Risk Assessment Tool and Quantitative Ultrasound for Bone Screening: A Case Series
Discussion:
In this case series, we present 2 postmenopausal women who demonstrate low fracture risk as predicted by the FRAX alone. Subsequent QUS measures detected that one of the women was at higher risk for fracture. Follow-up DXA scan confirmed that the QUS, which also directly assesses bone quality, correctly stratified the patients into low and high fracture risk categories. In addition to FRAX, QUS may be an important low-cost screening tool for physical therapists to use, to increase early referral for medical management.

Hip Angles, Joint Moments, and Muscle Activity During Gait in Women With and Without Self-reported Stress Urinary Incontinence
This article describes gait biomechanics in these same women to provide insight into their function and neuromuscular system.
Objective:
To compare gait biomechanics between women with and without self-reported SUI.
Study Design:
Descriptive.
Methods:
Hip angles, moments (net forces), and muscle activity were analyzed during 3 phases of stance (weight acceptance [WA], mid-stance [MS], and terminal stance [TS]), using 3-dimensional cameras, force plates, and surface electromyography. Values were compared between groups (SUI, n = 21; no SUI, n = 20) and limbs (dominant, D; nondominant, ND) (significance: P ≤ .05)....

Health Characteristics of Competitive Collegiate Dancers
Conclusion:
These findings indicated that collegiate dancers had a high prevalence of disordered eating and related pathogenic behaviors. The results also indicated that dancers sustained a high lower extremity injury occurrence during the past year and experienced greater urogenital distress occurrence during nondance activities.
