examined per vaginam with the results of the tests presented using Peritone

Materials and methods: 23 female respondents were tested and evaluated as a correlation
between the muscle strength P within the PERFECT scale and the measurements
of maximum voluntary contraction using Peritone device performed by two examinators.
Results: The diff erences in the results of the study using two methods were not statistically
signifi cant. There was also no signifi cant diff erence in two independent examinations
of the pelvic fl oor muscle strength performed by two physiotherapists.
