Pelvic floor muscle activity during jumps in continent and incontinent women: an exploratory study

Purpose Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) symptoms can be provoked during impact loads such as vertical jumps. To investigate and compare pelvic floor muscle (PFM) activity in women with SUI and continent women (CON) during drop jumps (DJ) and counter movement jumps (CMJ) could clarify the activity of the PFMs during impact loads.
