Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of spinal stabilization exercises focusing on the pelvic floor on urinary symptoms, spinal stability, pelvic floor muscle functions, quality of life and perception of recovery in women with overactive bladder.

Detailed description

Overactive bladder (OAB) is defined by the International Continence Society and the International Society of Urogynecology as urinary urgency with or without urinary incontinence, usually accompanied by frequency and nocturia. Among the treatment options of OAB; first-line treatments include lifestyle recommendations, exercise approaches, and bladder training. Lifestyle recommendations; healthy lifestyle includes behavioral changes. Spinal stabilization exercise also aims to improve the neuromuscular control, strength and endurance of the muscles that are important in maintaining trunk stability. In recent years, it has been stated that trunk stability is impaired in women with OAB. However, no study was found on spinal stabilization exercises in patients with OAB.
