Perineal tears may decrease PFM function. PFM tone can be assessed with surface EMG (sEMG), but reliability studies of sEMG in women with perineal tears are lacking. The aims of this study were to evaluate test-retest and intrarater reliability of sEMG and compare PFM activation between nulliparous and primiparous. Methods: A sEMG test-retest was performed in 21 women (12 nulliparous and 9 primiparous with grade II tears) to assess intra-rater reliability during rest and maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of the PFM. Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), standard error of measurement (SEM) and minimal detectable change (MDC) were tested. A comparison between nulliparous' and primiparous' PFM activation during rest and MVC was performed. Results: sEMG demonstrated fair reliability in nulliparous (ICC: 0.239; SEM: 5.2; MDC: 14.5) and moderate reliability in primiparous (ICC: 0.409; SEM: 1.5; MDC: 4.2) during rest. For peak MVC very good intrarater reliability was found in nulliparous (ICC: 0.92; SEM: 8.0; MDC: 22.2) and in primiparous (ICC: 0.823; SEM: 8.0; MDC: 22.2). Statistically significant lower PFM activation was found in primiparous women with perineal tear grade II than in nulliparous at rest (mean difference 9.1 µV, 95% confidence interval [CI] 3.0-19.0, p = 0.001), and during MVCpeak (mean difference 50.0 µV, 95% CI 10.0-120.0 p = 0.021). Conclusions: sEMG is reliable when measuring PFM activation in primiparous women with perineal tears grade II. Women with perineal tears grade II have lower PFM activation both during rest and MVC.IDI&CA (Research, Development, Innovation and Artistic Creation of the Polytechnic Institute of LisbonWileyRepositório da Universidade de LisboaMota, PatríciaCosta, AnaSantos, DianaSanto, SusanaBarros, JoanaBø, Kari2023-04-13T10:33:18Z20232023-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/57104engNeurourol Urodyn. 2023 Apr 50733-246710.1002/nau.251801520-6777info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-08T17:05:08Zoai:repositorio.ul.pt:10451/57104Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:07:32.144458Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
