Variables affecting maximum urethral closure pressure (MUCP) and abdominal leak point pressure (ALPP) measurements.

The relationship between pelvic floor muscles and measurements of urethral function is not well studied. It is not known whether adjusting for clinical, demographic and urodynamic parameters would improve the association between MUCP and ALPP. Our hypothesis was that pelvic floor muscle strength (PFMS) influences the relationship between MUCP and ALPP.
