Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two comparison groups: A group - group, which will be used pelvic floor muscle training and B group (control) - a group without specialized training of the pelvic floor muscles. In group A will be applied the pelvic floor muscle training. Therapy will be held for ten days (two weeks at five sessions per week) and each will last about 30 minutes a day. The whole therapy will be carried out under the supervision of a therapist at the hospital. Participants will be recruited from among patients of the hospital Selection of exercises will be individual determined, in depends on the function of the lower urinary tract and the condition of the tested women (physiotherapist decision). Training will take into account the contractions of the pelvic floor muscles. Participants will perform contraction lasting a few seconds (depending on the condition of the patient, with a break lasts twice as long). They will also be carried out short, rapid contraction of this muscle. In this training, a electromyograph with the function of the visual biofeedback will be used. Feedback on muscle contraction provided via a screen for participants throughout each session via sEMG sensors. Each training session will be supervised and managed by a physiotherapist.
