Pelvic Floor Muscle Training Alone or in Combination with Hypopressive Exercises: Randomized Controlled Trial
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Hypothesis / aims of study The pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) has been indicated for treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction, with A level of evidence for the urinary incontinence (1). Recently, the indirect training of pelvic floor muscles (PFM) by transversus abdominis (TrA) muscle contraction has been suggested as a new method for strengthening PFM (2), and the hypopressive exercises recommend the contraction of TrA muscles associated with diaphragmatic aspiration (3). Although widely used, there are no consistent evidences that TrA muscle contraction or hypopressive exercises can effectively strengthen the PFM. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of PFMT alone or in combination with hypopressive exercises in women with pelvic organ prolapse.
