Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to investigate which verbal instruction will lead to the most efficient contraction of pelvic floor muscles in post stroke patients. Pelvic floor muscle contraction will be evaluated via transabdominal ultrasound. ultrasound.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Sub-acute stroke patients during the rehabilitation period in the rehabilitation hospital will be examined. Each participant will be asked to contract the pelvic floor muscles using three different verbal instructions: (1) "contract your pelvic floor - all sphincters"; (2) "contract your anus"; (3) "contract your pelvic floor as if you're trying to stop urinating". Those who will not be able to contract will be taught by the ultrasound as a biofeedback.

The assessment of pelvic floor contraction will be measured by measuring bladder displacement via abdominal ultrasound. A curved linear array transducer will be placed in the transverse plane immediately suprapubically over the lower abdomen angled at 15-30 degrees from the vertical. An on screen caliper and measurement tool will be used to measure bladder displacement.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Verbal instruction

The participants will be verbal instructed to contract the pelvic floor muscle with the following sentences:

(1) "contract your pelvic floor - all sphincters"; (2) "contract your anus"; (3) "contract your pelvic floor as if you're trying to stop urinating".

Those who will not be able to contract will be taught by the ultrasound as a biofeedback.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Intervention Type OTHER

Verbal instruction for pelvic floor contraction will be given to participants. Ultrasound examination will be conducted to asses urinary bladder displacement being a marker for pelvic floor muscle function.
