Isokinetic Strengthening of Hip Muscles Effect on Pelvic Floor Muscles Function in Females With SUI
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Pelvic floor muscles exercises: The exercises for strengthening the PFM were 10 contractions of 5 seconds, 15 contractions of 3 seconds, 20 contractions of 2 seconds, 20 contractions of 1 second (equal rest time between contractions), and 5 repetitions of maximum contractions while coughing (1-minute interval).25 The level of difficulty of the exercises throughout the 20 sessions was determined by the patient's position, starting in a supine position, then progressing to a sitting position and, finally, to a standing position
Pelvic floor muscles exercises and isokinetic strengthening of hip muscles: The hip muscle strengthening exercise was executed on Biodex multi-joint system isokinetic dynamometer. Muscle tension of the lower limbs was relieved by executing 5-minute warm-up exercises using a cycle ergometer before execution of the isokinetic exercise For each hip muscle group, eight repetitions per set for 4 sets were carried out for a single exercise with a 30 second break between each set. The patient's position were the same positions used in the testing procedure. The exercises were carried out 3 times a week and the hip muscles strength evaluation was conducted after the end of the program intervention
Study summary
This study will be conducted to investigate the impact of isokinetic strengthening of hip muscles on pelvic floor muscles function in women experiencing stress urinary incontinence Does isokinetic strengthening of hip muscles impact pelvic floor muscles function in women experiencing stress urinary incontinence?
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Pelvic floor muscle strength — 12 weeks
Perineometry to measure vaginal squeeze pressure (in mm hg) the more the grade, the better the muscle strength and so the less the stress urinary incontinence
