Abstract:
Objective:To explore any effect of pelvic floor muscle training and/or attention training on pelvic floor function and women′s symptoms of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).Methods:Fifty incontinent women were divided into a control group ( n=25) and an experimental group ( n=25). Both groups received conventional pelvic muscle rehabilitation training, but the experimental group was additionally provided with attention training for 6 weeks. Before and after the 6 weeks of treatment, both groups were evaluated using surface electromyography of the pelvic floor. The short form of the International Urinary Incontinence Advisory Committee′s urinary incontinence questionnaire (ICIQ -SF) was used to assess the severity of incontinence and quality of life (I-QOL). Results:Before the treatment there was no significant difference between the 2 group′s pelvic floor myographs, nor in their average ICIQ-SF and I-QOL scores. After the treatment, however, compared with the control group, significant improvement was observed in experimental group′s peak amplitude during rapid contraction, average EMG in tonic contraction and endurance contraction. Their average ICIQ-SF and I-QOL scores were also better.Conclusion:Supplementing pelvic floor muscle training with attention training can effectively improve the urinary continence and the life quality of women with stress urinary incontinence.
