ARA from rest to bearing down | 0.534 | N/A |
LPA at rest / baseline | 0.805 | 0.748 |
LPA from rest to contraction | 0.795 | 0.725 |
LPA from rest to bearing down | 0.831 | 0.563 |
PR length at rest / baseline | 0.804 | 0.831 |

ARA, Anorectal angle; LPA, Levator Plate Angle; PR, Puborectalis; Interrater ICC, two-way random effects absolute agreement; Test-Retest ICC, two-way mixed effects absolute agreement measured between two participant testing sessions; N/A, not applicable as ARA measures were not made at the second testing session.
