Two theories have been reported for the pathophysiology of levator ani syndrome: the spastic cycle hypothesis and the local inflammation (Tendinitis) hypothesis. This study compared two treatment modalities in order to determine which of the two hypotheses is more appropriate. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 April 2018.
All research outputs
#7,451,942
of 22,782,096 outputs
Outputs from International Journal of Colorectal Disease
#391
of 1,829 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#20,191
of 62,091 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Journal of Colorectal Disease
#2
of 13 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,782,096 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,829 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 55% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 62,091 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 13 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
