Detailed Description

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

The research was conducted on participants over the age of 65 with urinary incontinence living in a nursing home. After these participants were informed about the content of the study, a signed informed consent form will be obtained. This study is an assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial. Participants with incontinence aged 65 and over living in a nursig home were randomly assigned to intervention (IG) and control group (CG). The intervention group attended an exercise program that individualized pelvic floor muscle with Emg biofeedback training (individualized-PFMT). The control group was included in the group-based PFMT program. Duration of exercise for both groups was 45-60 minutes per session three times a week for 12 weeks. Incontinence symptoms and severity (Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20, bladder diary), PFM and abdominal muscle function (superficial electromyography), balance (Berg Balance Scale), functional status (Senior Fitness Test), hand grip strength, knee extansor, ankle dorsi-plantar flexion muscle srength, sleep quality and fear of falling (Falls Efficacy Scale) was measured at baseline and after the intervention.
