This study compares two different exercise programs for women with stress urinary incontinence. One program focuses on movement coordination, and the other focuses on pelvic floor muscle training. The goal is to find which approach works better.
This trial tests if using a special ultrasound to show pelvic floor muscle movement during exercises helps new mothers strengthen their pelvic floor better than standard therapy alone. It is for women who gave birth vaginally within the past 4 months.
This study tests whether watching videos about pelvic floor exercises at home works as well as in-person therapy. You would follow a video program from your home.
This research tests whether a special training program based on a behavior-change model (the Transtheoretical Model) can help improve the strength of your pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic floor muscles support your bladder, bowel, and uterus, and strengthening them can improve bladder control and other pelvic health issues.
This trial tests a pelvic floor rehabilitation program (using exercises and possibly electrical or magnetic stimulation) for women with weak pelvic muscles after childbirth or mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse. It aims to improve muscle strength and reduce prolapse symptoms.
This study tests a program of adapted physical activity focusing on trunk stabilization and pelvic floor education to help women with pelvic floor disorders like incontinence or pelvic heaviness. It aims to see if this training can improve symptoms and quality of life.
