Condition: Urinary Incontinence,Stress · Sponsor: University of Patras
In the adult female Greek population,approximately 27% suffer from urinary incontinence (UI). Nowadays, the conservative, evidence-based and 'gold standard' therapy of UI involves pelvic floor muscles (PFM) training programs, which are effective when performed intensively (daily) and for at least three months' duration. Unfortunately, patients' adherence to PFM exercises programs is often compromised for various reasons (lack of patient interest, inability to exercise daily etc.). Therefore, the development of synchronous and asynchronous telerehabilitation programs has revolutionized UI treatment, because they offer an interactive environment which might increase patient motivation and improve patient's adherence to this demanding PFM exercise regime. Synchronous Telerehabilitation Programs (STP) have developed via communication platforms that allow users to connect with video, audio, phone, and chat applications (e.g. Zoom), where users can interact in real time with their therapist and follow their treatment through the PFM exercise program. Furthermore, Asynchronous Telerehabilitation Programs (ATP) have emerged via mobile applications, educational videos etc., where users can follow their treatment using the PFM exercise program at a more convenient time that fits into their personal schedule. Although some studies have examined either STP or ATP with or without face-to-face sessions, no study has investigated a blended approach of STP and ATP for the management of UI. …
