    Abstract Background: Pandemic-induced restrictions forced curriculum transformation from on-site education to virtual learning options. This report describes this transition, the challenge of creating technology-enhanced learning for hands-on psychomotor skills teaching in physiotherapy, and students' evaluations of the new technology-enhanced learning approach in Complex Decongestive Physiotherapy.
    Methods: On-site theoretical background lectures were replaced with e-learning sessions. Faculty hands-on skills demonstrations for the entire class were replaced with video-recorded demonstrations. Videos included verbal and written instructions and were complemented with checklists guiding the students, training in pairs, through their learning tasks. A cross-sectional observational survey for teaching quality evaluated this new technology-enhanced learning approach and assessed students' preference for traditional or video-based hands-on skills learning.
    Results: Survey return rate was > 50% (46 participating students). Teaching quality was rated between 1.5 ± 0.5 and 1.8 ± 0.4 (Likert scale from - 2 to + 2). Most students (66.7%) preferred the new approach. They appreciated for example that videos were available all the time, enabling self-paced learning, providing an equally good view on skills demonstrations, and the convenience to be able to rewind, re-view, and use speed adjustment options.
    Conclusions: Students preferred the new video-based learning of skills for Complex Decongestive Physiotherapy. Because in-class live skills demonstrations were omitted, faculty had more time to provide individual feedback and answer questions. The shift from teacher- to student-centered learning enabled students to control their own learning pace. The innovative program was maintained after pandemic-induced restrictions were lifted. The success of this approach should be tested in other physiotherapy settings and different educational institutions.

    Abstract Introduction and hypothesis: Although involuntary reflexive pelvic floor muscle contractions seem crucial during stress urinary incontinence-provoking situations, hitherto existing guidelines feature voluntary pelvic floor muscle training only. Two pelvic floor muscle protocols were compared regarding their effect on stress urinary incontinence in women: one focusing on standard physiotherapy with voluntary pelvic floor muscle training, the other additionally including involuntary reflexive pelvic floor muscle training.
    Methods: This study was designed as a triple-blind prospective randomized controlled trial with women suffering from stress urinary incontinence with two physiotherapy intervention groups (control group: standard physiotherapy, n = 48, experimental group: standard physiotherapy plus involuntary reflexive pelvic floor muscle training triggered by whole-body movements such as jumps n = 48). Both interventions lasted 16 weeks (9 personal physiotherapy consultations and 78 home training sessions). Group differences and development over time were analyzed concerning the primary outcome International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire Urinary Incontinence short form (ICIQ-UIsf) by mixed effect regression models.
    Results: The ICIQ-UIsf score decreased significantly over time for both groups by about 3 points from about 10 to about 7 points with no group differences at any point in time.
    Discussion: This trial did not find any additional benefit for stress urinary incontinence by adding involuntary reflexive pelvic floor muscle training to standard training. Both training protocols showed similar clinically relevant improvements; however, there was still moderate incontinence after interventions. Future studies should test and apply pelvic floor muscle function-oriented training methods for pelvic floor muscle hypertrophy, intramuscular coordination, and power, which are more in line with conventional skeletal muscle training, i.e., performed with higher intensities and workout.

    Abstract Introduction and hypothesis: Understanding the functioning of pelvic floor muscles (PFM) is crucial in female PFM rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to determine the intra-session retest reliability and validity to evaluate the quantity of PFM displacement.
    Methods: This cross-sectional observational study examined the PFM displacement of 17 young healthy nulliparous women in the midsagittal plane. Three maximal voluntary contractions (MVCs) and five fast voluntary contractions (FVCs) were simultaneously examined with an electromagnetic tracking system (ETS) and transabdominal ultrasound (TAUS) and expressed in millimeters (mean, SD). To evaluate reliability and validity, the analysis of variance, intraclass coefficient (2,1), standard error of measurement (SEM), and minimal detectable difference (MDD) were calculated.
    Results: Maximal voluntary contractions and FVCs in supine position measured by an ETS (TAUS) showed a displacement of MVC: 3.5 ± 1.9 mm (7.8 ± 4.5 mm), FVC: 3.5 ± 2.4 mm (7.6 ± 5.3 mm), and during standing of MVC: 5.2 ± 1.6 mm (9.4 ± 3.8 mm) and FVC: 4.8 ± 2.5 mm (9.7 ± 4.1 mm). Intraclass correlation for the ETS (TAUS) measurement varied between 0.79 and 0.89 (0.61 and 0.74), SEM 0.52 and 1.03 mm (1.54 and 3.2 mm), and MDD 1.54 and 3.2 mm (6.64 and 7.53 mm). The correlation between an ETS and TAUS varied between 0.53 and 0.67.
    Conclusions: For MVC and FVC, ETS measurements are highly reliable and TAUS measurements are moderately reliable for both contraction types. The correlation between the TAUS and ETS measurements is moderate. An ETS seems to be a reliable and valid measurement tool for evaluating PFM displacement during voluntary contractions. In future studies, the reproducibility and validity of ETS measurements need to be investigated in impact activities.

    Abstract Introduction and hypothesis: Running is known to cause urinary leakage in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Task-specific fiber-type recruitment while running can be estimated using wavelets. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of a new physiotherapy program including involuntary, reflexive training with a standard physiotherapy program on pelvic floor muscle (PFM) activation patterns and fiber-type recruitment behavior while running.
    Methods: In this triple-blinded randomized controlled trial, women with SUI were randomly allocated to the control group (CON), which performed a standard physiotherapy program, or the experimental group (EXP), which received additional involuntary, reflexive training. PFM electromyography (EMG) was recorded during 10 s at three running speeds and analyzed using Morse wavelets. The relative distribution of power (%) over the frequencies from 20 to 200 Hz was extracted and analyzed within six-time intervals of 30 ms. Statistical nonparametric mapping was performed to identify power spectra differences.
    Results: Thirty-nine (CON) and 38 (EXP) women were included. The power spectra showed no statistically significant group differences. The time intervals from 30 ms before to 30 ms after initial contact showed significantly lower intensities than the intervals from 30 to 150 ms after initial contact in the lowest and higher intensities in the highest frequencies for all running speeds and both groups.
    Conclusions: Power spectra shifts toward higher frequency bands in the pre-initial contact phase could indicate a feed-forward anticipation and a muscle tuning for the expected impact of initial contact event in order to maintain continence.

    Abstract Introduction and hypothesis: In pelvic floor muscle (PFM) electromyography (EMG) two different bipolar configurations are applied: "true differential" configuration (TD) measures neuromuscular activity with two ipsilateral electrodes, whereas "faux differential" configuration (FD) has two electrodes placed on each side of the PFMs. The aim of the study was to determine possible differences and the relationship between both configurations.
    Methods: A secondary data analysis of 28 continent (CON) and 22 stress urinary incontinent (SUI) women was performed. Surface EMG was measured using a vaginal probe during maximal voluntary (MVC) and fast voluntary (FVC) contractions. TD and FD were explored with amplitude- and time-related EMG parameters, cross-correlation coefficients (R(0)) and statistical parametric mapping (SPM).
    Results: Of a total of 62 comparisons of EMG parameters of MVC and FVC, only one comparison showed significant differences between the two configurations (CON group, FVC
    Conclusions: The findings suggest that TD and FD might measure neuromuscular activity almost the same. Very high cross-correlation coefficients and a very limited number of significant results from EMG parameters, as well as SPM, suggest that in the measured sample the choice of TD or FD might remain practically irrelevant. To gain further insight into the scientific and clinical relevance of choosing either of the electrode configurations, the comparisons should be re-evaluated on a sample with more severe incontinence symptoms.

    Abstract Objectives: Electromyography (EMG) is a well-established method to quantify the relative pelvic floor muscle (PFM) activity. PFM EMG has shown good reliability in healthy women. However, its reliability has not been tested in women with PFM dysfunction. The reliability of EMG analysis methods concerning EMG normalization needs to be determined to assess specific therapeutic interventions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the intra-session reliability of PFM EMG variables by using 3 different analysis methods in women with PFM dysfunction.
    Methods: EMG data analysis involved women who were healthy, had weak PFM and had stress urinary incontinence (SUI). We evaluated the reliability of EMG during rest and maximum voluntary contraction and compared muscle activity onset by visual determination and by calculation. All variables were checked for normality (Shapiro-Wilk). Descriptive statistics (mean, SD), systematic error within repeated measures (Wilcoxon) and reliability indexes were tested and presented descriptively (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC], standard error of measurement [SEM], SEM%, minimal difference [MD], MD%).
    Results: For 20 women who were healthy, 17 with weak PFM and 50 with SUI, ICC values were high for all variables (0.780-0.994), and SEM and MD values were relatively high (SEM%: 7.5-15.7; MD%: 21.0-43.8).
    Conclusion: We need reliable methods to analyse clinical intervention studies. PFM EMG variables had high ICCs, but relatively high SEM and MD values modified the reliability. All EMG analysis methods were comparable in healthy women, but only the visual-onset determination was dependable in women with PFM dysfunction.

    Abstract Introduction: Two thirds of women suffering from stress urinary incontinence (SUI) reported a negative impact on quality of life (QoL). SUI can also lead to less physical activity and more comorbidities. SUI may result in a substantial economic burden on health care services but numbers are not clear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to estimate the health status, the comorbidities and the health costs of women with SUI living in the Canton of Bern (Switzerland).
    Methods: This cost-of-illness (COI) study was embedded in an RCT (n=96) exploring the effect of two pelvic floor muscle training protocols in women with SUI. A prevalence-based COI study with a societal perspective and a bottom-up approach was applied. Baseline demographics, comorbidities and cost data were collected prospectively during 16 weeks. Descriptive statistics, a frequency and a one-way sensitivity analysis were performed.
    Results: Thirty-seven participants volunteered in this COI study. About 95 % had at least one comorbidity. The most commonly reported problem was back pain (47.6 %). Fifty-one percent consulted a medical doctor, the prevalence of drug consumption was 70 %, 11 % reported less efficiency whilst working and 30 % less physical activity. Mental stress was mentioned by 59.5 % of the participants. The average health costs were CHF 2256.
    Discussion: This COI study provided data on health status, comorbidities, QoL, health care use, productivity losses and costs of SUI. The high prevalence of comorbidities observed in this study was comparable to obese females of a similar age group. The high economic burden of SUI requires cost-effective preventive actions and clinical treatment concepts.

    Abstract Introduction: Complex functional movements such as jumping typically provoke stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women. The aim of this study was to investigate pelvic floor muscle (PFM) activity in young, healthy women during jumps to explore their activity characteristics.
    Methods: Surface electromyography (EMG) from PFMs was measured in 16 healthy women with a tripolar vaginal probe during drop landings from heights of 15, 30 and 45 cm (DL 15, 30, 45) as well as during mini-trampolining with a pace of 90 and 75 jumps per minute (MT 90, 75). Time of foot strike and body weight force (BWF) in % (= ground reaction force, normalised to body weight) was determined by force plates. Root mean square values of the EMG signals were analyzed from 30 ms before to 150 ms after foot strike. Peak activity during maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) was set as 100% for EMG normalization. The PFM onset threshold was determined as the mean of rest activity plus 2 standard deviations. Data were analysed with non-parametric statistical methods.
    Results: EMG activity during all jumps was above the PFM onset threshold. Mean pre- and reflex activity increased significantly with jumping height (p < 0.05) as well as with increasing BWF. The PFM activation pattern of DL was with peak activity of 115-182 %MVC between 34 and 44 ms after foot strike, which was different from MT with peak PFM activity of 85-115 %MVC reached at 133 ms.
    Conclusions: Jumping and mini-trampolining provoked significant PFM activity in healthy volunteers. The next research step will be to examine the PFM activity of women suffering from SUI during jumps.
