Summary
This trial will study the effects of isometric strengthening of hip external rotators with progressive resistance training on urinary incontinence in older women.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 65 or older who have been experiencing urinary incontinence (UI) for at least the last three months. Participants should be able to perform exercises and not have a history of UI treatment, significant pelvic organ prolapse, bladder emptying issues, neurogenic bladder conditions like MS or Parkinson's, dementia, cognitive impairment, or severe mobility issues.
What is being tested?
The study tests if hip muscle exercises can improve pelvic floor muscle strength and function in older women with UI. It involves a standardized 12-week exercise program focusing on strengthening the hip external rotators with progressive resistance training.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed for this type of physical therapy intervention, participants may experience general discomforts such as muscle soreness or fatigue related to the exercises.
