Effect of surface electrical stimulation in a seated position on pelvic floor muscle functions, urinary leakage, and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence
Abstract:Background The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effect of surface electrical stimulation in a seated position (SESSP), as pelvic floor muscle (PFM) training, on PFM functions (time to reach maximal pressure [TRMP], muscle strength, power and endurance), urinary leakage and quality of life in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI).Methods Women with SUI were randomized into an SESSP group (n = 18) or control group (n = 18). Quality of life were assessed by the Incontinence Quality of Life Quest… Show more
