Table 1 Hypothesized anal physiology score
| Maximum resting pressure (mmHg) | Anal canal length (cm) | Internal sphincter defect | External sphincter defect | PNTML | |
| 0 | > 40 | > 3 | Intact | Intact | Normal |
| 1 | > 30, ≤ 40 | > 2, ≤ 3 | ≤ ¼ defect | ≤ ¼ defect | - |
| 2 | > 20, ≤ 30 | > 1, ≤ 2 | > ¼, ≤ ½ | > ¼, ≤ ½ | Unilateral neuropathy |
| 3 | > 10, ≤ 20 | > ½, ≤ 1 | > ½, ≤ ¾ | > ½, ≤ ¾ | - |
| 4 | ≤ 10 | ≤ ½ | > ¾ | > ¾ | Bilateral neuropathy |
