Summary

Aim: To verify the effects of the abdominal hypopressive technic (AHT) associate or not with pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms and pelvic floor muscle strength. Methods: Randomized controlled trial. Thirteen incontinent women were randomly divided into an AHT group or AHT+PFMC group. Outcome assessment was carried out using digital palpation (modified Oxford grading scale), Peritron perineometer, and the International Consultation Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) questionnaire. The treatment protocol consisted of five twice-weekly, 40-min one-on-one sessions. The participants were assessed only at baseline and after the intervention. Results: It is expected that the group who performed PFMC will improve the maximal voluntary contractions (MVC) and improve urinary incontinence symptoms, while the hypopressive exercise does not.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Hypopressive exercise

The hypopressive exercise is performed mainly via transversus abdominis (Tra) activation. The exercise relaxes the diaphragm, decreases intra-abdominal pressure and may activate the abdominal and PFM simultaneously.

OTHER

Pelvic floor muscle contraction

Pelvic floor muscle contraction (PFMC) is performed through a sequence of contraction and relax the PFM. It will improve PFM strength and is effective for treating urinary incontinence.
