Understanding the relationship between Pelvic floor muscle dysfunctions as stress urinary incontinence with Postural balance ability and subsequent fall risk in postmenopausal females is important in terms of injury prevention and decrease morbidity and mortality rate among postmenopausal females. Therefore, this study investigating the effect of pelvic floor muscle training on postural balance and fall risk in postmenopausal females with stress urinary incontinence.
Thirty post-menopausal females will participate in this study. They will be selected from the outpatient clinic at Daraya University.They will be randomly assigned in two groups experimental (A) and control (B) group, each group will have (15) postmenopausal female. Experimental Group (A):
It will consist of (15) postmenopausal females are complaining of urinary incontinence and balance disturbances who will be treated by pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) for 30 min., 3 sessions/ week in addition to traditional physical and balance training program (proprioception training and balance exercises for the static and dynamic components of balance for 30 min., three sessions/ week for six weeks.
Control Group (B):
It will consist of (15) postmenopausal females are complaining of urinary incontinence and balance disturbances who will be treated by traditional physical and balance training program only (proprioception training and balance exercises for the static and dynamic components of balance for 30 min., three sessions/ week for six weeks.
All females in both groups will be evaluated for urinary incontinence through ultrasonography and pelvic floor bother questionnaire (PFBQ) at the beginning of the study and at the end of treatment period. Also, static, and dynamic balance performance and fall risk will be assessed in the beginning of the study and at the end of treatment period through the Biodex balance system and Tinetti Performance Oriented Mobility Assessment (POMA). All participants will be given an explanation of study protocol, and an informed consent form will be signed by each female
