Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Resting and functional bioelectrical activity of pelvic floor muscle assessed by electromyography (µV and %µV). This is a composite primary outcome.[24 hour before ten session of structural integration, immediately after completion ten session (ten weeks) of structural integration and follow-up after 24 hours.];Static body balance with eyes opened and closed using Stabilographic platform CQ-Stabilograph (the length of the statokineziogram path on the X-axis, as well as the average speed of the COP movement on the X-axis). This is a composite primary outcome.[24 hour before ten session of structural integration, immediately after completion ten session (ten weeks) of structural integration and follow-up after 24 hours.];Body composition/ Bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA)[24 hour before ten session of structural integration, immediately after completion ten session (ten weeks) of structural integration and follow-up after 24 hours.]
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Assessment of subjective symptoms of urinary incontinence by ICIQ [24 hour before ten session of structural integration, immediately after completion ten session (ten weeks) of structural integration.];Foot anthropometry using CQ-ST podoscope (foot length, foot width and the Wejsflog index; Clarke’s angle; hallux valgus angle and the angle of the varus deformity of the fifth toe)[24 hour before ten session of structural integration, immediately after completion ten session (ten weeks) of structural integration and follow-up after 24 hours.]
