LPA excursion rest to contract	10.6 ± 9.2	14.8 ± 5.6	−4.1 ± 11.2	0.10
LPA excursion rest to bear down	−4.0 ± 7.8	−6.8 ± 8.4	0.5 ± 10.5	0.49^a
PR length at rest / baseline	40.6 ± 6.2	43.2 ± 6.4	−2.6 ± 8.7	0.19
PR length excursion rest to contract	−2.7 ± 3.1	−4.4 ± 3.9	1.7 ± 4.6	0.11

Paired differences (UF-LUTS minus Control) are expressed as median ± interquartile range and P values from two-tailed paired Wilcoxon Signed Rank test, all other paired differences expressed as mean ± standard deviation with P values from paired t-tests
