Abstract
This randomized controlled trial evaluates the effectiveness of a Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) program incorporating lifestyle modification and pelvic floor muscle training in women with stress urinary incontinence. The result is expected that the intervention group will exhibit significant improvements in urinary continence, functional outcomes, and quality of life when compared with the control group.
Materials
Perineometer:
A perineometer is a pressure-sensitive device that is used to objectively measure pelvic floor muscle strength and endurance. It provides reliable quantitative feedback during pelvic floor training in women with stress urinary incontinence.
Pad Test:
The pad test is a simple, non-invasive method to assess the severity of urinary leakage by weighing absorbent pads before and after a specified physical activity or time period, offering a standardized outcome measure for incontinence research.
