Sponsor's own description

The objective of this study was to compare the effects of four different interventions on pelvic floor muscle electromyographic activity in women with stress urinary incontinece: i) a global osteopathic protocol (myofascial, visceral, and articular techniques), ii) one manipulation technique (high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA)/thrust) of the sacroiliac joint and T10-L2, iii) Pelvic Floor Muscle training, and iv) a control group with no intervention. The hypothesis is that the global osteopathic protocol and HVLA technique can increase pelvic floor muscle electromyographic activity to a level greater than or equal to the standard care established in the literature (pelvic floor muscle training).
