Apical support stiffness and cervix displacement in three groups of women with varying degrees of pelvic organ support

	Normal Normal (N=14)	Normal Prolapse (N=11)	Prolapse Prolapse (N=27)	Overall P value^a
Apical support stiffness, N/mm
0 to 1 N	0.09 ± 0.62	0.12 ± 0.39	0.04 ± 0.79	.94
1 N to 18 N	0.63 ± 0.20	0.50 ± 0.12	0.47 ± 0.18	.02
Cervix Displacement, mm
0 to 1 N	6.66 ± 5.42	11.85 ± 19.97	9.65 ± 9.32	.53
1 N to 18 N	30.2 ± 7.20	37.29 ± 7.62	42.63 ± 13.24	.005

Data reported as mean ± SD.

P values comparing group means were determined by simple linear regression models. Results did not substantively change after controlling for age and parity in the regression models.
