Summary

The objective of this study was to compare the effects of four different interventions on pelvic floor muscle electromyographic activity in women with stress urinary incontinece: i) a global osteopathic protocol (myofascial, visceral, and articular techniques), ii) one manipulation technique (high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA)/thrust) of the sacroiliac joint and T10-L2, iii) Pelvic Floor Muscle training, and iv) a control group with no intervention. The hypothesis is that the global osteopathic protocol and HVLA technique can increase pelvic floor muscle electromyographic activity to a level greater than or equal to the standard care established in the literature (pelvic floor muscle training).

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

HVLA

High velocity, low amplitude manipulation for the sacroiliac joint and T10-L2. The interventions were performed once a week for four weeks by a physiotherapist with a degree in in osteopathy and ten years of clinical experience. Each visit lasted about 5 minutes.

OTHER

global osteopathic protocol

Myofascial, visceral, and articular techniques. Complete treatment in order to restore and rebalance internal tensions and improve the visceral mobility: muscle inhibition techniques for the psoas muscle; deep massage in the obturator foramen; stretching for the greater omentum; lift of the uterus, ovary, and bladder ; abdominal maneuver; and thrust of sacroiliac joint and T12-L1. The interventions were performed once a week for four weeks by a physiotherapist with a degree in in osteopathy and ten years of clinical experience. Each visit lasted about 15 minutes.

OTHER

pelvic floor muscle training

Pelvic floor muscle training for four weeks, with a weekly face-to-face visit lasting 10-20 minutes. In this intervention, participants were instructed to perform three sequences of exercises: contractions and relaxations (three seconds of sustained contractions and six seconds of rest), ten sustained contractions (ten seconds of sustained contractions and 20 seconds of rest), and five contractions associated with a cough. These exercises were performed in the standing, sitting, and lying positions
