Methods: The women were divided into two groups: one group used Colpexin Sphere with pelvic floor muscle exercise, and the other group did pelvic floor exercise only for a 16-week period. The efficacy was evaluated at baseline and 16-week for comparison of pelvic floor muscle strength. Results: A total of 50 women were enrolled and 48 women completed the full 16-week assessment. A statistically significant improvement in pelvic floor muscle strength as compared with baseline values and at 16weeks was shown in both groups, with mean difference pull test contraction values of 2.25+3.28N (P<0.05) in the study group and 1.38+2.17N (P<0.05) in the control group. There was no statistically significant difference in improving pelvic floor muscle strength between the study and the control groups. Conclusion: Even though Colpexin Sphere plus pelvic floor exercise improved pelvic floor muscle strength, the improvement was not statistically different from exercise alone Springer-Verlag, 2010 Colpexin Sphere nationallicence Pelvic floor muscle strength nationallicence Pelvic organ prolapse nationallicence Harnsomboon Thitima Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Rama6 Rd., Toong-Payathai, 10400, Ratchatawee, Bangkok, Thailand aut Manonai Jittima Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Rama6 Rd., Toong-Payathai, 10400, Ratchatawee, Bangkok, Thailand aut Sarit-apirak Sirirat Department of Nursing, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand aut Wattanayingcharoenchai Rujira Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Rama6 Rd., Toong-Payathai, 10400, Ratchatawee, Bangkok, Thailand aut Chittacharoen Apichart Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Rama6 Rd., Toong-Payathai, 10400, Ratchatawee, Bangkok, Thailand aut Sututvoravut Somsak Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Rama6 Rd., Toong-Payathai, 10400, Ratchatawee, Bangkok, Thailand aut Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics Springer-Verlag 283/3(2011-03-01), 575-579 0932-0067 283:3<575 2011 283 404 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00404-010-1394-4 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00404-010-1394-4 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Harnsomboon Thitima Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Rama6 Rd., Toong-Payathai, 10400, Ratchatawee, Bangkok, Thailand aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Manonai Jittima Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Rama6 Rd., Toong-Payathai, 10400, Ratchatawee, Bangkok, Thailand aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Sarit-apirak Sirirat Department of Nursing, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Wattanayingcharoenchai Rujira Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Rama6 Rd., Toong-Payathai, 10400, Ratchatawee, Bangkok, Thailand aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Chittacharoen Apichart Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Rama6 Rd., Toong-Payathai, 10400, Ratchatawee, Bangkok, Thailand aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Sututvoravut Somsak Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Faculty of Medicine Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Rama6 Rd., Toong-Payathai, 10400, Ratchatawee, Bangkok, Thailand aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Archives of Gynecology and Obstetrics Springer-Verlag 283/3(2011-03-01), 575-579 0932-0067 283:3<575 2011 283 404 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer
