Brief Summary

Randomized clinical trial (RCT) will be conducted to compare the effects of Tanzberger exercises and pelvic floor muscle training on urinary incontinence and quality of life in post\_menopausal females suffering from urine incontinence in which data will be collected from Razahat Medical Centre, Lahore via International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence-Short Form score (ICIQ-UI-SF) and incontinence quality of life (IQOL) Questionnaire. Sample size of 34 patients will be taken. Non\_probability convenient sampling will be used. A written consent form will be taken from participants meeting inclusion criteria and will be randomly allocated into two groups through lottery method, to either the PFMs group or Tanzberger exercise group. Treatment will be given three times a week. International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire, Urinary Incontinence-Short Form Questionnaire and Incontinence quality of life will be used to measure quality of life. All participants in both groups will be evaluated before and after the treatment programs. Total duration of study will be six months. Data will be analyzed by using SPSS 21

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Incontinence Quality of life questionnaire

  The I-QoL Questionnaire consists of 22 questions that assess the limitations on human behavior, the psychosocial impact and social constraint brought about by urinary incontinence. Responses are given on a scale ranging from 1 to 5 points and the final scores are then summed up and converted into percentages. The higher the percentage, the better the quality of life. Reliability was assessed by Cronbach's alpha(0.93)

  4th week

• International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Urinary Incontinence

  The ICIQ-UI-SF measures the degree of urinary incontinence and gives it a score on a range of 0 - 21, where higher numbers in any part indicate a worse urinary incontinence. This questionnaire examines the frequency, amount and duration of urine leakage and its effect on the quality of life. Numerous studies used this tool and its reliability and validity were confirmed in Iran with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.75
