S3L2: Pelvic Dysfunction Flashcards
What is a significant consequence of pelvic floor relaxation or damage?
Inability of pelvic floor muscles to actively support
Modified T/F
A. Pelvic floor dysfunction involves the abnormal activity or function
of the pelvic floor musculature.
B. Particularly as manifested by genital prolapse and urinary and
fecal continence remains as one of the largest and unaddressed
issues in women’s health care today
TF
Particularly as manifested by** genital prolapse and urinary and fecal incontinence** remains as one of the largest and unaddressed issues in women’s health care today
All are signs and symptoms of pelvic dysfunction EXCEPT FOR:
A) Urinary incontinence
B) Fecal incontinence
C) Chronic pain syndromes
D) Normal sexual function
D) Normal sexual function
Which of the following is NOT typically associated with pelvic dysfunction?
A) Pelvic organ prolapse
B) Sensory and emptying abnormalities of the upper urinary tract
C) Defecation dysfunction
D) Bowel and Bladder incontinence
B) Sensory and emptying abnormalities of the upper urinary tract
Among the listed symptoms, which one is least likely to be associated with pelvic dysfunction?
A) Sexual dysfunction
B) Chronic pain syndromes
C) Fecal incontinence
D) Upper urinary tract is not affected
E) None of the above
E) None of the above
Modified T/F
A. The PFM are not responsible for gross motor movements alone
but work in synergy with other trunk muscles
B. Thus, one should avoid isolated contraction of PFM as its supposed to work in unison with other muscles
TT
Modified T/F
A. Pelvic floor dysfunction may lead to symptoms during movement
and perceived restriction in the ability to stay physically active.
B. Pelvic dysfunction is often found in isolation and rarely occurs together with other pathologies
TF
Pelvic dysfunction may be found together with hip pathology, low back pathology, abdominal pathology because these areas are near the pelvic
All are signs and symptoms of urinary incontinence EXCEPT FOR:
A) Changes in movement patterns during physical activities
B) Withdrawal from regular fitness activities
C) Troublesome difficulties when being active
D) A and B only
E) None of the above
E) None of the above
Modified T/F
A. The PFM are subject to continuous strain throughout the lifespan
B. In particular, the pelvic floor of women is subject to tremendous strain during pregnancy and childbirth
TT
Modified T/F
A. Decline in PFM strength may occur due to aging
B. Hormonal changes influence pelvic floor and pelvic organs
TT
T/F
PFM may need regular training to stay healthy throughout life

Theory that states that pelvis require proper alignment and support for optimal function and stability.
Boat in the Dry Dock Theory
Theory that states that if the PFM cannot actively support the organs, over time the connective tissue will become stretched and damaged.
Boat in the Dry Dock Theory
T/F
In Boat in the Dry Dock Theory, the ship is analogous to the pelvic organs, the ropes to the ligaments and fasciae and the water to the
supportive layer of the PFM
True
T/F
Mary Massery, PT has proposed the Soda-Pop Can Model of Postural Support, in which she describes the glottis (top of the vocal cord) to the top of a soda-pop can.
True
T/F
According to soda can theory, a can that is closed creates pressure within the can, which is crucial to not only the shape of a soda-pop can but that imagery also relates to the function of your core and maintaining good postural control.
