Brief Summary

This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of kinesiotaping on activation of abdominopelvic cavity for management of stress urinary incontinence females' patients.

Conditions

Stress Urinary Incontinence

Keywords

Kinesiotaping; Abdominal Muscles; Female Patients; Stress Urinary Incontinence

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Pelvic floor impact questionnaire- short form 7 (PFIQ-7)

  It will be used to evaluate the efficacy of a particular therapy, and to compare bladder, bowel or vaginal symptoms severity for all females in both groups (A\&B) before and after treatment. All of the items use the following response scale: 0, Not at all; 1, somewhat; 2, moderately; 3, quite a bit PFIQ-7 Score, Obtain the mean value for all of the answered items within the corresponding scale (possible value 0- 3) and then multiply by (100/3) to obtain the scale score (range 0-100). The final score is the sum of the scores from the 3 scales together to obtain the summary score (range 0-300).

  4 weeks

• King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ)

  The KHQ is a validated instrument for measuring the quality of life of women with urinary incontinence. This questionnaire consists of two parts and 32 items. The first part (21 items) contains two single-item questions that address General Health Perception and Incontinence Impact and the following seven multi-item domains: Role, Physical, and Social Limitations, Limitations in Personal Relationship, Emotional Problems, Sleep and Energy Disturbances associated with SUI, and Severity Measures for UI. The second part has an 11-item Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) that assesses the presence and severity of urinary symptoms. While the entire SSS is scored from 0 (best) to 30 (worst), the minimum possible score is 0 (best health) and the maximum possible score is 100 (worst health) for all other KHQ domains.

Study Arms (2)

Kinesio taping +Pelvic floor exercise training

EXPERIMENTAL

They will be treated by Elastic Kinesio-tape of (K-Active) brand which will be applied over abdomen, which will be changed every 3 days and this will be maintained along four weeks, plus conventional pelvic floor exercises; 30 minutes, 3 times/week for 12 sessions.

Other: Kinesio taping; Other: Pelvic floor exercise training

Pelvic floor exercise training

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

They will be treated by conventional pelvic floor exercises; 30 minutes, 3 times/week for 12 sessions.

Other: Pelvic floor exercise training

Interventions

Kinesio taping OTHER

Tape will be applied on rectus abdominis muscles using muscles facilitation technique from origin to insertion of muscle with a tension between 15-35%. Band will start on symphysis pubis with no tension and then women make stretch on the abdominal region by deep abdominal inspiration and will end at xiphoid process. Tape will be applied on the right and left external oblique muscles; the procedure will start without tension from bottom and of 6-12 ribs, then the hip will be placed in flexion and rotation to opposite direction and the tape will be attached to pubic bone with tension between 15-35%. Finally, the tape will be performed on the right and left internal oblique muscles; the procedure will start without tension from anterior superior iliac spine and then the hip will be placed in extension position and the tape will be attached to lower 4 ribs and linea alba with tension between 15-35%.

Kinesio taping +Pelvic floor exercise training

Pelvic floor exercise training OTHER

The intervention will be applied by a trained physical therapist. First of all, each participant will be instructed to relax thighs, bottom and abdomen musculature, then squeeze pelvic floor muscles 'focus on tightening without flexing abdomen, thighs or buttocks- avoid holding breath' 10 repetitions, 3 to 5 times a day (morning, afternoon, and night). Rest for 4 seconds and then repeat each contraction. Build up pelvic floor musculatures strength until each participant be able to do 10 slow contractions each time, holding them for 10 seconds each with rests of 4 seconds in between. Then do not hold your breath or tighten your stomach, bottom or thigh muscles at the same time. Will instruct participants to try holding each squeeze for a few seconds.
