Detailed Description

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

This is a single blinded randomized controlled trial ,will be conducted at Ripha Rehab Clinic,Rawalpindi. (EMG) biofeddback is a adjunct therapy to standard exercise regime for increasing muscle strength,this study is planned to determine the effects of electromyographic biofeedback on performance of pelvic floor muscles, strength,endurance ,rate of biofeedback and its impact on the qulatiy of life (QOL).The sample size was calculated to be n=28 through open-epitool version 3 ,with 95%confidence interval (CI),and power 80%.

After completion of therapeutic protocols, the participant will be assessed with the help EMG-biofeedback, Pelvic Floor distress inventory, King's Health Questionnaire.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

There will be two groups of participants, Experimental group will receive pelvic floor strengthening with EMGBF (Electromyographic Biofeedback ) and control group receive excercises without EMGBF.

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants

Participants will be selected through purposive sampling technique per inclusion \& exclusion criteria. Further, Randomization will be done by sealed envelope method.

Study Groups

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

EMG BF Group

Pelvic floor muscle contraction will be performed via an S-EMGBF device; patients in the s-EMGBF group will receive visual and auditory feedback.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Electromographic Biofeedback

Intervention Type DEVICE

Surface EMG biofeedback is an adjunct therapy to standard exercise regime for increasing muscle strength. Electromyographic biofeedback is a specific form of biofeedback. The device records muscle activity through application of vaginal probe will be inserted in vagina and the reference surface electrode would be placed over the right anterior superior iliac spine.

Control Group

Patients would be advised to maximally contract the pelvic floor muscles as forcefully a possible for about 5 seconds.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

PFM exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Patients would be advised to maximally contract the pelvic floor muscles as forcefully a possible for about 5 seconds. Three attempts would be made with 40 seconds rest in between each contraction. The exercises would be performed with the patient initially in supine position, with hip and knee flexed at 30 and 90 degrees.
