Role Of Wii Fit Game Based Abdomino-Pelvic Training In Females With Urinary Incontinence
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Wii Fit Training Experimental Group and Conventional Training for Incontinence, Urinary. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is aimed to determine the effect of Wii fit based abdomino-pelvic training on strength of pelvic floor muscles and on symptoms of urinary incontinence in females. An experimental, randomized controlled trial will be performed. Both reproductive and postmenopausal females with stress urinary incontinence will be included. 40 participants would be randomly distributed in experimental group (n=20) receiving wii fit based abdomino-pelvic training and control group (n=20) receiving conventional pelvic floor exercises. Pelvic floor strength would be assessed before and after by Digital method and EMG biofeedback. Urinary symptoms would be assessed by bladder diary, pad test and International consultation on Incontinence Questionnaires. Health related Quality of life questionnaire would also be used as an outcome measure. Data will be analyzed on SPSS 21 version using descriptive and inferential statistics

Interventions
Experimental group receiving wii fit game based abdomino-pelvic training. A specific protocol was developed by the researchers. Wii fit games which promote exercises focusing on the abdominopelvic cavity strengthening, using as a therapeutic means a Wii™ console with a Wii Fit Plus™ CD game. The protocol was design that which playing games participant perform different pelvic movements such as anteversion, retroversion, lateral tilt and circumduction that maintain trunk control and stabilization with mild abdomino-pelvic muscle activation. Duration of each game is 5 minutes with 90 seconds interval between them twice a week. After performing the sequence of virtual games, a series of abdominopelvic and lower limb muscle stretching exercises will done.
Control group (n=20) receiving conventional pelvic floor exercises. Conventional exercises includes: 1. Knack Maneuver (Ashton -Miller 1998, 2008) 2. Pelvic floor strengthening: kegel Exercise. 3. -Lumbo-Pelvic Stabilization Exercise. 4. Functional Training/ PFM Contraction during ADL 5. Correction of biomechanical/structural deformities
