ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION AND

HYPOTHESIS:

Surface electromyography is commonly applied to measure the electrophysiological activity of the neuromuscular system. However, there is no consensus regarding the best protocol to assess pelvic floor muscles.

METHODS:

A scoping literature review was carried out in six databases, using MeSH descriptors. It included studies with electromyographic assessment in adult women presenting or not with pelvic floor dysfunction. The results were presented in categories to contribute to the development of a protocol considering the most used parameters for non-invasive assessment of myoelectric activity of pelvic floor muscles.

RESULTS:

A total of 1,074 articles were identified, and 146 studies were selected for analysis. The intravaginal probe was used in 80.8% of the studies, the bipolar sensor with metallic plates placed on both sides of the vagina was the most frequent (71.3%), with a reference electrode positioned on the anterior superior iliac spine (33.5%). The supine position with hip and knee flexed (45.2%) was the most frequent position used. Of the studies, 44.5% normalized the data by maximum voluntary contraction (MVC) whereas 44.5% performed an average of 3 MVCs.

CONCLUSIONS:

The most frequently used protocol for the pelvic floor is the bipolar intracavitary probe with metal plates positioned at 3-9 o'clock and introduced distally to the vaginal introitus with the volunteer in the supine position and the hip and knee flexed with the reference placed on the anterior-superior iliac spine.
