Description of intervention(s) / exposure
kinesiotherapy
Exercise 1 - Patient will begin with 5 minutes of global stretching of the upper and lower limb.
Exercise 2 - The patient will sit on the ball (Bobath) will be held and mobility pelvic movements (exercises anteversion / retroversion, lateral inclination).
Exercise 3 - Hundred (Hundred) - Starting Position: Patient supine, hip and knee flexed 90 degress, the scapula stabilized, arms at your sides and palms facing down. Exercise: patient inhales, the expiration patient flex the head and upper body, stabilizing the shoulder blades and tightening the abdominal muscles and the perineum ("Hold Your Wee") and extend the knees.

Inspiring, returning to its initial position
Exercise 5 - Bearing partial back (Half roll back) - Starting Position: Patient seated, knees bent, feet parallel, about the column bent knees, arms extended and stabilized scapula. Exercise: A patient inspires, the patient expired contracts abdomen and perineum muscle and starts rolling back and can continue while maintaining lumbar flexion and feet on the mat. Inhale, returning to its initial position.

Exercise 7 - Kick Series IV (Side Kick Series IV) - Starting position: lying on its side on the outstretched arm (serving as the headrest), neutral spine and pelvis, scapula stabilized, and one arm resting on the mat. Top leg bent forward with the other foot and lower leg perform adduction, standing on tip. Exercise: inspiration, during expiration the patient contracts the abdominal muscles and perineum, leading to the leg from the bottom up (adduction), inhale back to the starting position.
Exercise 8 - Coordination (Coordination) - Starting Position: Patient supine, hip flexed at 45 degrees, the scapula stabilized, arms above your head holding the ball Bobath. Exercise: inspiration, during expiration the patient will contract the abdomen and perineum muscle, flexing the hip and take the ball to the ankle, holding the ball with the medial malleolus. Inhale back to center position.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 262118 0
Urogynecological assessment
Timepoint [1] 262118 0
Urogynecology evaluation contained the data: age, chief complaint, disease history and physical examination. Physical examination was used vaginal cones to determine the degree of perineal muscle strength. The vaginal cones are used in number of five weighing 25g to 65g. The cone weighed a 25g, 35g cone weighing two, three cone weighed 45g, four cone weighed 55g; Cone five weighed 65g.
Procedure:
To determine the degree of muscle strength of the perineum, the patient was instructed to enter each cone in the canal, one at a time and perform 10 steps, and perform 10 squat jumps 10 times and that this cone was inserted into the vagina could not out, indicating that the patient can sustain the cone with the muscles of the perineum. The procedure started with 25gr cone, then get up to 35g to 65g cone.
For the degree of muscle strength "0" indicates that the patient could not sustain the cone 25g
For the degree of muscle strength "1" indicates that the patient could sustain the cone 25g
For the degree of muscle strength "2" indicates that the patient could sustain the cone 35g
For the degree of muscle strength "3" indicates that the patient could sustain the cone 45g
For the degree of muscle strength "4" indicates that the patient could sustain the cone 55g
For the degree of muscle strength "5" indicates that the patient could sustain the cone 65g
The evaluation was performed in the pre-treatment and three months after treatment.
Secondary outcome [1] 273195 0
The Assessment Questionnaire Quality of Life "King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ)
Timepoint [1] 273195 0
King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) is composed of 21 questions divided into eight areas:
1 - perception generates health,
2 - impact of urinary incontinence,
3 - limitations of daily activities,
4 - physical limitations,
5 - social limitations,
6 - personal relationships,
7 - emotions,
8 - sleep / disposal. Each response is referred to a value (0 = no / not sure; 1 = little / rarely, 2 = average / sometimes, 3 = very much / always).
Scores range from 0 to 100 and the higher the score, the greater the impact on quality of life
Was assessed at pre-treatment and three months after treatment

Summary
Brief summary
Objective: To examine the effectiveness of Pilates in rehabilitation in women with stress urinary incontinence. Materials and methods: After approval by the ethics committee on research under No. 1482/10, the study included one female patient aged 47 years with a clinical diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence and physical therapy for pelvic floor muscle weakness with Power equal 3 and above. Evaluation was performed by Urogynecology Checklist and a questionnaire to evaluate Quality of Life "King's Health Questionnaire. The protocol was performed three times per week (2, 4 and 6), lasting 1 hour per session for 3 months. Statistical analysis Mean and standard deviation. Results: At baseline and final respectively obtained the percentage of 60% and 100% of muscle strength and the King's Health Questionnaire quality of life gained 32 points respectively (68%) and 20 points (80%). Conclusion: The Pilates method associated with the treatment of urinary incontinence was effective, promoting better quality of life and strength of pelvic floor muscles. Larger samples are suggested to achieve a more effective completion of the technique.
