Overview

Brief Summary

Stress incontinence is a prevalent condition among women often associated with pelvic floor muscle weakness and insufficient core or muscle support. Emerging evidence suggests that the transverse abdominis and hip adductors play a crucial role in enhancing pelvic floor muscle. The need for the study is to give a simple form of exercise to women before going to surgical intervention in the severe stages of pelvic floor weakness.

This study is to compare Transverse abdominis strengthening versus Hip adductor strengthening each combined with Pelvic floor muscle training in reducing symptoms of stress incontinence in female patients.

A quasi experimental study will be conducted involving female patients diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence. Participants were selected using purposive sampling method and assigned into two groups:

Group A: Transverse Abdominis strengthening along with pelvic floor muscle training

Group B: Hip Adductor strengthening along with pelvic floor muscle training

The intervention will be given during which patients undergo structured exercise protocols under physiotherapy guidance. Outcome measures include the 20-minute pad test to quantify urine leakage and the King’s Health Questionnaire (KHQ) to assess the impact on quality of life. Since the whole study takes a 8 weeks of duration not every women is affordable and can come for daily visit to hospital  so I am having this is telerehabilitation with initial and final sessions are taken in hospital.
