Filter by:Lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD) is present in 2-40% of healthy children. If left untreated, it can lead to health problems such as recurrent urinary tract infections, vesicoureteral reflux and chronic renal failure. Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a globally accepted treatment for adults and children. In addition to locomotor skills, functional exercises such as motor control, core stability and balance training are important to support toilet training. Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), a current stabilization approach, is a neurophysiological rehabilitation strategy based on developmental kinesiology, using ontogenetic models to both diagnose and treat dysfunction in the locomotor system in infants and adult patients. Today, DNS is successfully used in the rehabilitation of various neurological, musculoskeletal, pediatric and sports injuries. However, there are no studies in the literature examining the effectiveness of DNS training in children diagnosed with LUTD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of DNS training in children diagnosed with LUTD and to compare it with EMG-Biofeedback treatment method. The children participating in the study will be randomly divided into 3 groups. Children in Group I will exercise 3 days a week for 45 minutes according to DNS principles. Children in Group II will receive EMG Biofeedback training 1 day a week. Children in Group III will receive EMG-Biofeedback training 1 day a week in addition to exercises with DNS principles 3 days a week. In the study, data on symptoms, demographic data of the individuals before treatment and at 4th week, 8th week and 12th week after treatment will be obtained from each child participating in the study through a questionnaire, symptoms related to voiding disorder and urinary incontinence with Dysfunctional Voiding and Incontinence Scoring System (DVISS), activation of deep trunk muscles with Stabilizer Pressure Biofeedback Unit, urine flow curve and voiding parameters of the patients with uroflowmeter application will be evaluated. Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance will be used to compare the three groups in terms of variables. Wilcoxon signed-rank test will be used to analyze the statistical significance of the difference between all values before and after treatment. For all results, p<0.05 will be considered as significance level.
There is no study in the literature examining the knowledge level and urinary symptoms of active athletes about the pelvic floor. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between PTC awareness and incontinence in young athletes who engage in long-term and high-intensity activities that increase the risk of SUI.
Determination of fetal head position during labour is highly subjective and depends on clinician's experience in vaginal digital examination. Monitoring the progress of labour with intrapartum ultrasound (IU) exhibits higher accuracy rates. However, the dynamic process of labour needs very frequent sonographic examination and that may decrease the feasibility. Consultation to IU at certain time points can positively limit the need for ultrasound, increase the effectiveness of IU and allow for safer labour in consistency with traditional labour management. This study aims to investigate the use of IU in cases with suspected and diagnosed labour arrest in both the first and second stage of labour.
Primary dysmenorrhea is a common problem in women. Women use many treatment methods to deal with primary dysmenorrhea. Therefore, this study aims to find the most effective treatment by determining the effectiveness of conservative and non-conservative treatment in women with primary dysmenorrhea. Another aim of the study is to generalize the use of conservative treatment methods in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea.On the other hand, it aims to spread the telerehabilitation method, which allows the global Covid 19 outbreak to be maintained remotely online, in the world and in our country.
The study aimed to explore and quantify functional and electrical activities in different pelvic floor muscle groups, to differentiate the electrophysiological role in different pelvic floor muscle groups relating to pelvic floor dysfunction or disorders, and further to develop treatment strategies for different pelvic floor muscle groups in different female pelvic disorders.
This study is a multi-center survey of surface electromyography (sEMG) of pelvic floor muscles in healthy female. The aim of the study is to get the reference interval of normal pelvic floor sEMG from Chinese women.
Residents increase their knowledge of female pelvis anatomy using a pelvic floor interactive model methodology (Pelvic+) compared to the traditional methodology.
The mechanical demands placed on the pelvic floor structures during vaginal delivery often exceed physiological tissue limits, resulting in maternal childbirth trauma, considerable postpartum morbidity, and increased risk of pelvic floor disorders(PFD). Injury to the perineum, vaginal supportive tissues, and pelvic floor muscles cause pain, infection, and dyspareunia, as well as pelvic organ prolapse(POP).Pregnancy and vaginal delivery are considered as a main risk factors in weakening the pelvic floor support and development of SUI, AI, and POP. CS is not only available countermeasure to reduce occurrence of obstetric trauma. Tactile imaging allows acquisition of 3D stress-strain data and 3D elasticity imaging or soft tissues.
Exercising postpartum is important for the health of mother and child. However, there are physical changes postpartum which can prevent women from exercising postpartum. About 30% of women postpartum have problems with stress urinary incontinence. Almost as many have a remaining separation of the two parts of the muscle rectus abdominis. Over the last decenium there has been an increased interest but also disparate information about these conditions. This has led to an increased uncertainty among women who wants to resume exercising postpartum. More and more women seek help of physiotherapists to verify an appropriate function in their muscles after pregnancy. However, reliable and valid examination methods are scarce and it is unclear how to interpret the examination results to give individualized exercise advice. The aim of this study is to test the reliability of examination methods for the pelvic floor function and separation of the rectus abdominis and the criterion validity of these examination methods regarding exercising without leaking urine and lumbopelvic pain. Another aim is to identify if exercising postpartum has effects on the function of the muscles and (less) leaking of urine and lumbopelvic pain/disability. Recruitment of 300 women approximately 8 weeks postpartum in the Region Västra Götaland. For testing interrater reliability on manual examination of the pelvic floor and the separation of the rectus abdominis by caliper two physiotherapists will examine the participants´ pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. The examinations will be tested for criterion validity using a questionnaire for pelvic floor function, lumbopelvic pain/disability and physical activity level. In an observational component of this study the questionnaire will also be used to evaluate the effects of exercising postpartum on the recovery of pelvic floor and abdominal muscles at 6, 9 and 12 months postpartum. This study will provide knowledge about the reliability of examination methods for pelvic floor function and separation of the rectus abdominis, their correlation to urinary leakage and pain/disability (criterion validity) and the effects of exercising on muscle function postpartum.
This study aims to investigate the incidence and distribution of complications after different pelvic reconstruction surgeries using mesh/native tissue in multi-centers using the IUGA/ICS complication classification system(the Category-Time-Site(CTS) coding).
