Inter-rater reliability study of the modified Oxford Grading Scale and the Peritron manometer.

Objective: To evaluate the inter-rater reliability of the modified Oxford Grading Scale and the Peritron manometer.

Design: All participants were evaluated twice, first by one examiner and 30 days later by a second examiner. Measurements of vaginal squeeze pressure were compared with the results from the palpation test.

Comparison between measurements obtained with three different perineometers.

Objective: To analyze the results obtained in the evaluation of intra-vaginal pressure using three different brands of perineometers in nulliparous volunteers.

Materials And Methods: Twenty nulliparous women with no anatomical alterations and/or dysfunction of the pelvic floor were enrolled in our study. All the women had the ability to voluntarily contract their PFM (Pelvic Floor Muscles), as assessed by digital palpation.
