About
Stress Urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common health condition in female population. Although its prevalence increases with the age, women of all ages could be affected. Several epidemiological studies have shown an association of SUI with Low Back Pain (LBP) demonstrating, moreover, that the presence of one condition may predispose the patient to the onset of the other. Concerning the LBP, the clinical practice guidelines provided recommendations for physical rehabilitative treatment. Different techniques and physical exercises have been developed and it is difficult at the date to affirm the superiority of one approach as compared to another. Moreover, the crucial role plays by the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) both as an integral part of trunk and lumbo-pelvic stability and in maintenance of urinary continence, lead the pelvic floor muscles disfunction to be associated both with SUI and LBP, making the PFM rehabilitation a useful approach in both the conditions. In this rehabilitative context the present study aims to verify the effectiveness of a global physical approach based on postural re-education combined to the pelvic floor rehabilitation in women with diagnosis of stress urinary incontinence associated with non-specific chronic low back pain.
