Background: Pelvic floor muscle anatomy and contractility are important for pelvic floor function. Pelvic floor muscle resting tone and contraction are components of the mechanism that prevents descent of the pelvic organs and maintains continence. Pelvic floor muscle contraction and strength are assessed commonly by digital palpation or perineometry (measurement of vaginal squeeze pressure).

Objective: To find out the reliability and validity of external palpation of pelvic floor muscle among women.

Study Design: Non experimental design

Methodology: According to inclusion and exclusion criteria samples were selected, pelvic floor muscle strength were assessed internally by brink score and externally graded as normal, hypotone and hypertone

Outcome Measure: Brink score and external palpation grading

Results: The result of this study shows that there exist an significant association between internal and external palpation of pelvic floor muscles. (p<0.05, CI-95%).

Conclusion: There exist a strong correlation between internal and external palpation of pelvic floor muscles
