Feasibility, inter- and intra-rater reliability of physiotherapists measuring prolapse using the pelvic organ prolapse quantification system

There is no agreed assessment tool for physiotherapists treating pelvic organ prolapse. This study hypothesised that pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) assessment was a feasible measure for use by physiotherapists and tested inter- and intra-rater agreement. Forty-five women were recruited (median age 59, range 32–87 years). Agreement between gynaecologist and physiotherapist was substantial (weighted kappa¿=¿0.63).
