Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Each participant will be asked to contract the pelvic floor muscles using three different verbal instructions: (1) "contract your pelvic floor - all sphincters"; (2) "contract your anus"; (3) "contract your pelvic floor as if you're trying to stop urinating". Those who will not be able to contract will be taught by the ultrasound as biofeedback.
The assessment of pelvic floor contraction will be measured by measuring bladder displacement via abdominal ultrasound. A curved linear array transducer will be placed in the transverse plane immediately suprapubically over the lower abdomen angled at 15-30 degrees from the vertical. An on-screen caliper and measurement tool will be used to measure bladder displacement.

Verbal instruction
The participants will be instructed to contract the pelvic floor muscle with the following verbal instruction: (1) "contract your pelvic floor - all sphincters"; (2) "contract your anus"; (3) "contract your pelvic floor as if you're trying to stop urinating".Those who will not be able to contract will be taught by the ultrasound as biofeedback.
Verbal instruction
Verbal instruction for pelvic floor contraction will be given to participants. A transabdominal Ultrasound examination will be conducted to asses urinary bladder displacement being a marker for pelvic floor muscle function.
