Brief Summary

Alteration of hormonal structure and decreasing of muscle tissue with aging causes pelvic floor dysfunction. Over age of 65 so many factors such as decrease in volume of muscle tissue, decrease in the amount of estrogen / testosterone, and low level of physical activity cause problems such as incontinence, prolapse, constipation and sexual dysfunction The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of pelvic floor exercise program on sexual dysfunction, incontinence, quality of life and physical activity level in elderly.

Conditions

Pelvic Floor Muscle Weakness; Urinary Incontinence in Old Age; Sexual Dysfunction; Quality of Life

Keywords

Pelvic floor exercise; Urinary incontinence; Sexual dysfunction

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Female Sexual Dysfunction Index

  The FSFI is a brief questionnaire measure of sexual functioning in women. It was developed for the specific purpose of assessing domains of sexual functioning (e.g. sexual arousal, orgasm, satisfaction, pain) in clinical trials.

  8 weeks

• International Index of Erectile Function Questionnaire

  The 15-question International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) Questionnaire is a validated, multi- dimensional, self-administered investigation that has been found useful in the clinical assessment of erectile dysfunction and treatment outcomes in clinical trials.

  8 weeks

• International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire- Short Form (ICIQ-SF)

  The ICIQ-UI Short Form is a brief and psychometrically robust patient-completed questionnaire for evaluating the frequency, severity and impact on quality of life (QoL) of urinary incontinence in men and women in research and clinical practice across the world. It is scored on a scale from 0-21.
