Brief Summary

This study will be conducted to investigate the impact of isokinetic strengthening of hip muscles on pelvic floor muscles function in women experiencing stress urinary incontinence Does isokinetic strengthening of hip muscles impact pelvic floor muscles function in women experiencing stress urinary incontinence?

Conditions

Isokinetic Strengthening; Pelvic Floor Muscles; Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pelvic floor muscle strength

  Perineometry to measure vaginal squeeze pressure (in mm hg) the more the grade, the better the muscle strength and so the less the stress urinary incontinence

  12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Stress urinary incontinence.

  12 weeks

Study Arms (2)

Control arm

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Pelvic floor muscles exercises

Other: Pelvic floor muscles exercises

Treatment arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Pelvic floor muscles exercises and isokinetic strengthening of hip muscles

Other: Pelvic floor muscles exercises and isokinetic strengthening of hip muscles

Interventions

Pelvic floor muscles exercises OTHER

The exercises for strengthening the PFM were 10 contractions of 5 seconds, 15 contractions of 3 seconds, 20 contractions of 2 seconds, 20 contractions of 1 second (equal rest time between contractions), and 5 repetitions of maximum contractions while coughing (1-minute interval).25 The level of difficulty of the exercises throughout the 20 sessions was determined by the patient's position, starting in a supine position, then progressing to a sitting position and, finally, to a standing position

Control arm

Pelvic floor muscles exercises and isokinetic strengthening of hip muscles OTHER

The hip muscle strengthening exercise was executed on Biodex multi-joint system isokinetic dynamometer. Muscle tension of the lower limbs was relieved by executing 5-minute warm-up exercises using a cycle ergometer before execution of the isokinetic exercise For each hip muscle group, eight repetitions per set for 4 sets were carried out for a single exercise with a 30 second break between each set. The patient's position were the same positions used in the testing procedure. The exercises were carried out 3 times a week and the hip muscles strength evaluation was conducted after the end of the program intervention
