  1. Urethral inclination angle was measured both at rest and on maximal Valsalva manoeuver. The RVAδ, which is the variation of RVA at rest and most effectively Valsalva. The urethral rotation angle (URA), which is the difference of the angles of urethral inclination angle at rest and the Valsalva manoeuver
