Overview

Narrative review evaluates rehabilitative ultrasound imaging effectiveness in pelvic floor rehabilitation, suggesting improved outcomes in diverse populations.

Key Points

  • The review examines the efficacy of rehabilitative ultrasound imaging as a visual biofeedback tool in pelvic floor rehabilitation.
  • Comprehensive search of PubMed, Cochrane, and MEDLINE databases
  • Focus on pelvic floor rehabilitation, ultrasound, and biofeedback related keywords
  • Prioritized systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical trials published in English
  • Transperineal and transabdominal ultrasound improved pelvic floor muscle function in various populations
  • In post-prostatectomy men, ultrasound training enhanced muscle contraction and reduced urinary leakage
  • In postpartum women, ultrasound-guided biofeedback decreased pain and improved function
  • Ultrasound biofeedback led to better muscle contraction success than verbal instruction
  • 57% of those unable to contract muscles correctly with verbal cues succeeded with ultrasound biofeedback
