Action Observation for Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength in Older Women
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether watching someone perform pelvic floor exercises—combined with helpful mental imagery—helps older women regain bladder control. It focuses on stress incontinence, when urine leaks during coughing, sneezing, or exercise.
