Summary

This randomized controlled trial evaluates the efficacy of the Pelvic Clock® device, a proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation tool, in accelerating functional recovery following Robotic-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP). The study compares the device intervention against standard Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) instructions. The primary goal is to assess the "Trifecta" achievement rate (cancer control, urinary continence, and potency) at 6 months post-surgery.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Pelvic Clock®

Participants used the device for neuromuscular re-education. Protocol: Frequency: 2 sessions per day. Duration: 5-10 minutes per session. Schedule: Minimum 5 days/week. Repetitions: 10-20 repetitions for specific movements (e.g., 12-6 o'clock tilt, 3-9 o'clock tilt). Participants also adhered to the standard PFMT regimen (3-4 sets/day) .

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT)

Standard Kegel exercises without assistive devices. Frequency: 3-4 sets per day. Intensity: Sustain each contraction for 5-10 seconds, followed by 5-10 seconds relaxation. Repetitions: 10-15 repetitions per set
