Summary

A randomized clinical trial will be carried out to compare the effectiveness of Kegel and squat exercises in reducing urinary incontinence. The study will include 30 participants diagnosed with urinary incontinence, who will be randomly assigned to either a Kegel exercise group or a squat exercise group. Both groups will perform their respective exercises for 10 minutes, three times daily, over a period of 12 weeks. Outcomes will be assessed using the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Female Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms Long Form (ICIQ-FLUTS LF) and the Incontinence Quality of Life (I-QOL) questionnaire

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Kegal Exercise

Dead Bugs:Participants will begin by lying on their backs with their arms extended overhead and legs bent at a 90-degree angle. While engaging their core muscles, they will gradually lower their arms and legs toward the floor, then return to the starting position. Bridging Exercise: Lying on their backs with knees bent and feet flat on the ground, participants will gently raise their hips upward while activating the pelvic floor muscles, then slowly lower them back to the starting position.

PROCEDURE

Squats Exercise

Sumo Squats: Participants will stand with their feet placed wider than shoulder-width apart and toes pointing outward. They will then squat down, keeping their backs straight and their weight on their heels, pause briefly at the bottom, and return to a standing position. Narrow Squats: With their feet set shoulder-width apart and toes pointing forward or slightly outward, participants will lower their bodies into a squat position while keeping their backs straight and their weight centered in the heels. After a brief pause, they will return to a standing position.
