Brief Summary

Urinary incontinence in children is defined as involuntary leakage of urine. Urinary incontinence is the most common urological complaint in children. Many factors are effective in urinary incontinence. Research on the effectiveness of the diaphragm in postural stabilization, which the investigators think is one of these factors, is limited. The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of diaphragmatic breathing in postural stabilization with healthy individuals and individuals with urinary incontinence. As a result, it has been revealed that one factor of urinary incontinence is due to the dysfunction of diaphragmatic breathing and will be a step to increase awareness on diaphragmatic breathing.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Quality of Life Scale in Children with Urinary Incontinence (PIN-Q)

    It consists of 20 questions. Children are asked to rate each question between 0 and 4 (0=no, 1=never, 2=sometimes, 3=often, 4=always). The total score of the scale ranges from 0 to 80 points. An increase in the total score means that the quality of life of the child is negatively affected.

    through study completion, an average of six months

  • Voiding Disorders Symptom Score (IBSS)

    It measures the severity of children's voiding disorder symptoms. It consists of 14 questions in total. The 13 questions of the questionnaire evaluate symptoms related to daytime incontinence, symptoms related to nocturnal incontinence, frequency of urination in one day, presence of constipation and various urinary incontinence related symptoms. The 14th question evaluates the impact on quality of life in relation to these symptoms.The total score of the scale ranges from 0 to 35 points. An increase in the total score means that the severity of voiding disorders symptom severity increases.

    through study completion, an average of six months

  • Dynamic Neuromuscular stabilization (DNS)

    In the DNS approach, the dual function of the diaphragm, namely respiratory and postural function, is evaluated.

    through study completion, an average of six months

  • POWERbreathe K5

    It is a respiratory muscle force measurement device. It is designed to match dynamic changes in respiratory muscle strength throughout the breath. S-index (Inspiratory muscle strength), will be evaluated.

    through study completion, an average of six months

  • POWERbreathe K5

    It is a respiratory muscle force measurement device. It is designed to match dynamic changes in respiratory muscle strength throughout the breath. Maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) will be evaluated.

    through study completion, an average of six months

  • POWERbreathe K5

    It is a respiratory muscle force measurement device. It is designed to match dynamic changes in respiratory muscle strength throughout the breath. Volume (Volume (V)) will be evaluated.

    through study completion, an average of six months
