Brief Summary

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

The goal of this observational study is to learn about functional bladder problems in children. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Does bladder symptoms in children have an effect on core muscles?
* How do core muscles change based on an increase or decrease in these symptoms?

Detailed Description

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

The study will be a novel investigation that elucidates the current state by comparing core muscle function outcomes with the type and severity of symptoms in children with lower urinary tract symptoms. It will shed light on the necessity of evaluating not only electromyographic activity during urination but also the overall function of core muscles in children with lower urinary tract symptoms. Additionally, identifying core muscle dysfunctions in children with lower urinary tract symptoms will provide a new perspective in treatment. Consequently, the project will not only contribute to the literature but also serve as a pioneering study that draws attention to the necessity of physical therapy consultation and a multidisciplinary approach in clinical assessment and treatment processes for pediatric urologists. The comprehensive and objective project aims to conduct a reference study on the subject, and the project results will lay the foundation for the development of prevention and improvement strategies. Data will be collected using non-invasive transabdominal ultrasound and surface electromyography to evaluate core muscle functions, and symptom questionnaires. The relationship between core muscle functions and lower urinary tract symptoms in children will be examined. Research Questions: Does lower urinary tract symptoms have an impact on core muscle functions in children? How do core muscle functions change according to an increase or decrease in these symptoms? The study is a cross-sectional research.
