Quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study with the objective of assessing the pressure threshold of the pelvic floor of 14 elderly women. An adapted evaluation form and a manual dynamometer were used to assess the pressure pain threshold. The pressure threshold for pain in the pelvic floor was similar between the sides and did not show statistically significant differences. The internal consistency was considered satisfactory. Further research is needed to better identify the reasons and consequences of pelvic pain in elderly women.
