- Brief Summary
Objectives: To determine the effect of whole body vibration training program (WBVT) in comparison with exercise therapy (ET) program on stress urine incontinence.<br /> <br /> Method: The study was designed as a randomized clinical trial. 43 women with SUI were randomly assigned in two groups; WBVT (21) and ET (22). All participants received either 10 sessions of WBVT or exercise therapy program under supervision.<br /> Quality of life and incontinence intensity were evaluated by IQOL questionnaire and visual analogue score , Pelvic floor muscle (PFM) strength ,PFM static and PFM dynamic were also evaluated All measurements were conducted both pre and post intervention in all participants.<br /> <br /> Results: It is obvious that both WBVT and ET methods are effective in management of SUI. This study showed the positive effects of exercise therapy and vibration training program in reducing the severity of incontinence, increasing IQOL questionnaire score, improvement of pelvic muscle strengths, the static and the dynamic tests of pelvic floor muscle in both groups. <br /> We found significant difference in each groups pre and post intervention. (p= 0.000); but there was no significant difference in comparison of two groups' outcomes.<br /> Conclusions: The findings of this study showed the beneficial effects of new exercise protocol and WBVT in improving the physical condition and quality of life in patients with urinary incontinence in 3 week treatment period.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Key Words: Stress Urinary Incontinence , Exercise therapy ,Whole body vibration training, Randomized clinical trial<br /> <br />
