Stress Urinary Incontinence in Women

Study summary

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in postmenopausal women is traditionally considered a local pelvic floor disorder, but emerging evidence suggests that spinopelvic and lower limb alignment may also contribute to continence mechanisms. Transperineal ultrasound α/β angles and post void residual (PVR) volume are promising imaging markers that might capture this broader biomechanical phenotype.

Objective To compare hip ultrasound α/β angles, PVR volume, and lower limb and spinopelvic alignment between symptomatic and asymptomatic postmenopausal women, and to explore within group correlations between PVR and musculoskeletal alignment variables.

Accepted

Inclusion Criteria: post menoupausal women, who had at least 12 months of amenorrhea or follicle-stimulating hormone values within the menopausal range and who could stand and walk independently to allow lower-limb and alignment assessments. \- Exclusion Criteria:women with urge or mixed incontinence as the dominant symptom, prior pelvic floor or anti-incontinence surgery, severe pelvic organ prolapse (stage 3 or greater), or neurological conditions affecting bladder function or gait, as well as those with hip or spine surgery likely to alter spinopelvic parameters \-

Primary outcome measure(s)

hip ultrasound parameters — At a single study visit (baseline)
we measured hip ultrasound angles describing urethrovesical and retrovesical configurations at rest and during a Valsalva or valgus manoeuvre, expressed in degrees. Trained clinicians performed transperineal ultrasound examinations in the lithotomy or semi-recumbent position, capturing angle measurements at rest and during standardized Valsalva efforts; we then recorded the mean of repeated readings to reduce measurement error.
