Background and Aim: In the past two decades, numerous studies using ultrasonographic imaging and indicators such as the bladder or urethra mobility were conducted to assess the pelvic floor structure and morphology, also to diagnose disorders like urinary in continence as well as prolapsed and their severities. Regarding the Rehabilitative Ultrasound Imaging (RUSI) and the importance of studying pelvic floor muscle function for physiotherapists, this article aimed to review practical aspects of two common ultrasonographic imaging methods for assessment of pelvic floor muscles’ function.
Conclusion: Trans-abdominal and Trans-labial have been introduced as two common ultrasonographic methods to evaluate pelvic floor muscle function. However, Trans-labial method is more sensitive with less measurement error. No need to get dressed, quick imaging and viewing the patient's bladder are considered as advantages of Trans-abodominal approach.
