Summary

The goal of this clinical study is to determine the feasibility and explore the potential benefits of pelvic floor muscle training during inpatient SCI rehabilitation on urinary, bowel, and sexual function and quality of life in people with SCI. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the feasibility of recruiting inpatients from SCI rehabilitation to a pelvic floor muscle training program? 2. What is the feasibility and acceptance of the implementation of a pelvic floor muscle training program in SCI inpatient rehabilitation? 3. What are the potential effects of a pelvic floor muscle training program implemented in SCI inpatient rehabilitation on bladder, bowel, and sexual function and quality of life? Participants will be asked to complete a series of assessments (questionnaires, physical assessments) before and after a 6-week intervention of pelvic floor physical therapy.
