Summary

This study tests whether ultrasound images can consistently measure pelvic floor structures in women while they rest and perform squats and deadlifts. Researchers will compare measurements taken by different raters and by the same rater at different times. The goal is to see if this imaging method is reliable enough to study how the pelvic floor responds to heavy lifting, which may help understand stress urinary incontinence.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If reliable, this ultrasound method could help researchers better understand how the pelvic floor behaves during exercise, potentially guiding future treatments for stress urinary incontinence.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage reliability study, not a treatment trial. The measurements may not prove consistent enough for widespread use, and the results may not apply to people with different anatomy or exercise habits.
