The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, joints and fascia, forming the base of the abdomino-pelvic cavity, considered an understudied region of the body from a biomechanical perspective. Together these structures contribute to support the pelvic organs and to maintain urinary and fecal continence. Although 45% of the women are not capable to contract the pelvic floor voluntarily, the stre…
The objective of this project is to compare the changes in pelvic floor muscle (PFM) morphology following the two most-commonly used physiotherapy treatments for urinary incontinence in older women (group treatment and individual treatment). A cohort of 360 older women (60 and over) with urinary incontinence will participate in the study. US measurements will be taken prior to and after …
