Summary

This trial will compare a usual care group to a tele-rehabilitation group to see if the treatment is effective when done remotely.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for women aged 65 or older with stress/mixed urinary incontinence, experiencing at least three leakages per week for over three months. Participants must be able to walk independently, understand French or English, have no significant cognitive deficits, and have internet access. Women with certain medical conditions like severe prolapse, chronic constipation, obesity (BMI over 35), or those on UI medication are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests a group pelvic floor muscle training program delivered via tele-rehabilitation to treat urinary incontinence in older women. It aims to see if this online method is feasible and effective compared to traditional face-to-face sessions especially during times when gatherings are restricted.
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves exercise-based therapy without medications, side effects may include temporary muscle soreness or fatigue from the pelvic floor exercises. No drug-related side effects are expected.
