Wii Fit Game Based Abdomino-Pelvic Training In Urinary Incontinence
IncontinenceUrinaryThis study is aimed to determine the effect of Wii fit based abdomino-pelvic training on strength of pelvic floor muscles and on symptoms of urinary incontinence in females. An experimental, randomized controlled trial will be performed. Both reproductive and postmenopausal females with stress urinary incontinence will be included. 40 participants would be randomly distributed in experimental group (n=20) receiving wii fit based abdomino-pelvic training and control group (n=20) receiving conventional pelvic floor exercises. Pelvic floor strength would be assessed before and after by Digital method and EMG biofeedback. Urinary symptoms would be assessed by bladder diary, pad test and International consultation on Incontinence Questionnaires. Health related Quality of life questionnaire would also be used as an outcome measure. Data will be analyzed on SPSS 21 version using descriptive and inferential statistics

Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercises on Urinary Incontinence
Urinary IncontinenceThe main aim of this pilot study was to examine the effect of diaphragmatic breathing exercise on urinary incontinence treatment. The secondary purpose was to compare the effect of pelvic floor muscle exercises and diaphragmatic breathing exercises on urinary incontinence women. Design: Participants were randomized into two groups: pelvic floor muscle exercises (Group PFM n=20) and diaphragmatic breathing exercises (Group DB n=20). Exercise programs consisted of 1 set of contractions per day and each set included 30 repetitions for 6 weeks. Women were asked to complete forms of Incontinence Impact Questionnaire (IIQ-7) and the Urogenital Distress Inventory (UDI-6), Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QOL), and Overactive Bladder (OAB-V3) before starting the program and again at the end of the 6-week program. Changes from baseline were compared in both groups and between the two groups.
Effectiveness of Continence Promotion Interventions Among Community-dwelling Older Women
Urinary IncontinenceUrinary incontinence is a common and bothersome condition that remains frequently untreated among senior women. The aim of this trial is to compare the effectiveness of two community-based continence promotion interventions aimed at improving rates of self-care and/or professional health-care seeking in older women with urinary incontinence. The main hypothesis posits that participation in a constructivist interactive workshop combined with use of an evidence-based self-management tool will yield rates of improvement in incontinence frequency and reduce the cost of pad use by 20% compared to either intervention alone, which individually are expected to yield minimal effect sizes of at least 0.3 compared to a sham intervention.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Training and Biofeedback or Standard Therapy in Men Who Have Undergone Radical...
Nonmalignant NeoplasmProstate Cancer3 moreRATIONALE: Personalized training by a health professional may improve urinary incontinence. It is not yet known whether pelvic floor muscle training and biofeedback are more effective than standard therapy in improving urinary continence after radical prostatectomy or transurethral resection of the prostate. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying pelvic floor muscle training and biofeedback to see how well it works compared with standard therapy in men who have undergone radical prostatectomy or transurethral resection.

Physiotherapy to Treat Urinary Incontinence in Athletes
Urinary IncontinenceNearly half of all adult women suffer with Urinary incontinence (UI), this is more common in athletes. UI is considered to be due to weak pelvic floor muscles. Standard advice encourages strength and endurance training; however, assessment of pelvic floor muscles can sometimes reveal overactive or tight tissues. Evidence suggests athletes have stronger pelvic floors than non-athletes. If the pelvic floor is overactive, general advice regarding pelvic floor strengthening will not improve UI, and may make it worse. This study will explore the feasibility of conducting a larger trial to identify cost effectiveness and benefits of treating athletes with physiotherapy and how this might differ from current practice. 15 -20 athletic women will complete questionnaires regarding their UI and its effects on them. They will receive physiotherapy; the assessment will include a history and internal examination of their pelvic floor. This will inform a tailored rehabilitation program. Interviews will be conducted with some of these women to explore their response to the intervention. Interviews with health professionals will establish current practice for this patient group. The results will tell us how likely it is for athletes to volunteer and take part in a future study and which outcomes are useful.
