The strength duration test: a novel tool in the identification of occult neuropathy in women with pelvic floor dysfunction

Abstract: The SDT was abnormal in nine of the 13 study patients. This may partly explain reduced maximum voluntary contraction seen in this group of patients. SDT may be a more sensitive tool in detecting neuropathy than latency measurement.

“…Several authors have studied the applicability of S‐D curves for areas such as the detection of the level of disk injury and lumbar radiculopathy [44,45], evaluation of chronic hemiparetic muscles in patients with central nervous system injury [46], and diagnosis of pelvic floor dysfunction [47‐50]. No previous studies have investigated the application of S‐D curves to evaluate the excitability of the common fibular nerve in subjects with FAI.…”

“…A change in excitability could explain the patient reported symptoms used for defining FAI (as feeling of giving‐way, weakness, or recurrent sprains). Because the test is objective, noninvasive (the technique is transcutaneous, nor percutaneous), safe, economic, and easy [40,42,43,48,50], it can be used in rehabilitation and physical therapy consultations. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the electrophysiologic excitability of the common fibular nerve, as measured by S‐D curves, in subjects with functional ankle instability compared with a control group without ankle impairment.…”

“…Bei niederfrequenter Stimulation ist die Reihenfolge umgekehrt; die langsamen Fasern werden erst zuletzt bei hohen Stromstärken erreicht [16,17]. Weil das therapeutische Fenster im nervenreichen Beckenboden sehr klein ist, tolerieren viele Patienten die erforderlichen Stromstärken jedoch nicht [18][19][20]. Die Reizung mit mittelfrequenten Wechselströmen (MF > 1000 Hz) hat diesen Nachteil nicht [21].…”
