Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Literature highlights the importance of also adding an educational component regarding the intentional contraction of the pelvic floor muscles (a skill termed "the Knack"). Moreover, in some studies, carried out on a sample of women, was introduced the use of virtual reality. This increased the adherence to treatment and showed an improvement in urinary continence. In addition to virtual reality, another intervention methodology used in physiotherapy is the one of Action Observation training (AOT) whose effectiveness has been proven both in sports and rehabilitation.
However, currently the effect of this innovative type of treatment has not yet been studied in men with UI following radical prostatectomy intervention.
The aim of this clinical study is to investigate the effectiveness of using AOT on urinary incontinence in subjects undergoing robotic radical prostatectomy.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
AOT
Participants who, in addiction to standard rehabilitation program after surgery (isometric exercises), underwent two training session of action observation therapy.
Action observation training
Subject is asked to observe videos with motor contents
Control group
Participants who received standard rehabilitation program after surgery. The control group, before performing the functional exercises watched two videos of different landscapes lasting 4 minutes each.
