Test-Retest Reliability of an Instrumented Speculum For Measuring Vaginal Closure Force

摘要

AimsThe study aimed to a) determine reliability of an instrumented speculum designed for measuring intravaginal closure pressure, and b) compare findings with a comparable device reported in the literature. The goal of these new devices is to reduce subjectivity, improve precision, and acknowledge reliability issues in quantifying levator ani closure force acting on the vagina.
