Abstract

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise(PFME) in women with urinary incontinence (UI) after ischemic stroke. Methods : Thirty women were divided into two groups by randomly Experimental Group(15 subject) and Control Group(15 subject) in a single blinded, randomised study. Experimental Group was conducted for the 6-weeks PFME program and had a structured training program for 60 minutes, 3 days per week and they were encouraged to PFME at home seven days for a period of 6weeks. They were measured by questionnaire of urinary symptoms and perineometry. Results : A significant improvement in pelvic floor muscle strength and lower urinary tract symptom was also demonstrated within the Treatment Group(p<.05), but not in the Control Group. Conclusion : PFME program had a significant effect in women with UI after stroke measured by pelvic floor muscle strength and lower urinary tract symptom.
