Summary

This study intends to determine the effects of Electromyographic biofeedback on performance of pelvic floor muscles in urinary incontinence.

Detailed description

This is a single blinded randomized controlled trial ,will be conducted at Ripha Rehab Clinic,Rawalpindi. (EMG) biofeddback is a adjunct therapy to standard exercise regime for increasing muscle strength,this study is planned to determine the effects of electromyographic biofeedback on performance of pelvic floor muscles, strength,endurance ,rate of biofeedback and its impact on the qulatiy of life (QOL).The sample size was calculated to be n=28 through open-epitool version 3 ,with 95%confidence interval (CI),and power 80%. After completion of therapeutic protocols, the participant will be assessed with the help EMG-biofeedback, Pelvic Floor distress inventory, King's Health Questionnaire.

Conditions

• Urinary Incontinence

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Electromographic Biofeedback	Surface EMG biofeedback is an adjunct therapy to standard exercise regime for increasing muscle strength. Electromyographic biofeedback is a specific form of biofeedback. The device records muscle activity through application of vaginal probe will be inserted in vagina and the reference surface electrode would be placed over the right anterior superior iliac spine.
OTHER	PFM exercises	Patients would be advised to maximally contract the pelvic floor muscles as forcefully a possible for about 5 seconds. Three attempts would be made with 40 seconds rest in between each contraction. The exercises would be performed with the patient initially in supine position, with hip and knee flexed at 30 and 90 degrees.
