Abstract
The fidelity with which anal sphincter intraluminal pressure can assess the strength of that sphincter cannot be determined without a suitable objective measurement of sphincter strength. This study details such a measurement and compares it with sphincter pressure. Sphincter strength was defined as the force in grams required to pull a 3/4-inch diameter firm rubber ball from the rectum, through the sphincter, to the outside. Comparison of this value with simultaneously obtained sphincter pressure showed an excellent correlation (r = 0.955, P
