详细描述
Incontinence is a world wide challenge especially in elderly women. The participation in pelvic floor exercises can to some extent help women with urinary incontinency. In the Municipality of Aalborg in Denmark, the citizens can get a diaper grant, if they are incontinence. The project will be recruiting women with diaper grants and randomly allocate the women to 3 different groups 1) Group training (usual care), 2) Individual training and 3) Individual training with biofeedback in the form of ultrasound. All groups will receive the same incontinence education from the incontinence nurses and physiotherapists.
