Efficacy of PFMT and sEMG-triggered Electrostimulation in Treating the Very Weak Pelvic Floor: a Randomized Clinical Trial
This research will determine 1) whether the very weak pelvic floor can be improved with surface electromyography (s-EMG)-triggered electrostimulation added to pelvic floor muscle training and 2) whether sEMG-triggered electrostimulation added to pelvic floor muscle training can reduce leakage in Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)
• • Adult women (18 years old - 50 years old), with a Modified Oxford Score, determined by digital palpation, of 0 - 1, complaining leakage episode occurring more than once a week.
‣ Between six and eighteen months after childbirth
⁃ Willing and able to be compliant with pelvic floor muscle exercise intervention (standard of care) for 12 weeks and to log compliance
⁃ Willing and able to undergo an extensive physical function evaluation
