Design and Development of Sensor Based Pressure Probe and Establishing its Efficacy in the Dosimetry of Kegel Exercises among Females with Urinary Incontinence

The study will be designed as a single center study. Participants who will be satisfy the selection criteria will be made part of the study. A sensor-based pressure probe capable of measuring the strength and performance of the pelvic floor muscle will be prepared. The study will be carried on 230 females which will be allocated into 4 groups as Group A, Group B, Group C and Group D that is 58 in each group. Then in each group 58 participants is further divided into intervention group and control group so 29 participants in each group. In all intervention group participants will perform Kegel exercise with sensor based pressure probe whereas in control group participants will perform Kegel exercise through verbal instructions only. The pressure sensor probe will be inserted into vagina allowing the transmission of pressure reading of pelvic floor muscle along with duration of contraction. The inserted probe will be covered with a sterile latex sleeve for each female. So, this present study is aimed to find out the optimal dosage of Kegel exercises in terms of contract- relax time as well as number of repetitions using sensor based pressure probe.
