RESUMO:

Introduction: The pelvic floor (PF) is a set of soft tissue that is located between the pubic bone and the tailbone and covers the pelvis inferiorly. For the evaluation of the pelvic floor muscles (PFM), there are many forms and assessment tools supported by the literature, including bidigital palpation and perineometry. However, at present there are still no reference values for perineometry in women who guide the qualitative interpretation of results. Objective: To determine reference values of the pelvic floor muscles female through perineometry. Materials and methods: This is an observational study, cross-sectional, analytical. The sample will be composed of women between 35 and 80 years old, attended in the gynecology sector and climacteric of the Maternity Escola Januário Cicco. Data collection will be accomplished through the application of a general evaluation form and gynecological examination of force and pressure of PFM through the bidigital palpation and perineometry. Also will be collected data of weight, height, waist circumference and hip circumference. The collected data will be statistically analyzed in a database using SPSS version 20.0. Expected results: With this research, is expected to provide reference values of the pressure exerted by the voluntary contraction of the PFM, to improve the understanding of the results of the assessment by perineometry and communication between physical therapists and other health professionals. Furthermore, achieving these reference values, it is possible to provide to the patients a qualitative assessment method, thereby improving understanding.
