Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Exercises in Women With Urinary Incontinence

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is defined by the International Continence Society as the complaint of involuntary leakage of urine during physical exertion, including sports activities, or during sneezing or coughing. In continent women, an automatic response-namely, a reflex pelvic floor muscle (PFM) contraction, also known as pre-contraction-occurs either prior to or during physical exertion. Although there is strong evidence supporting the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) in the treatment of SUI, there has been a growing interest in exploring alternative exercise-based interventions. Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) is a manual and rehabilitative approach developed by Professor Pavel Kolar. It is grounded in the scientific principles of developmental kinesiology and aims to optimize the function of the movement system. Currently, DNS is successfully employed in the rehabilitation of various neurological, musculoskeletal, pediatric, and sports-related injuries. DNS incorporates the subconscious and synergistic activation of the deep core muscles responsible for intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) regulation and spinal stability-namely, the diaphragm, transversus abdominis, multifidus, and pelvic floor muscles-as well as the global musculature. Considering the potential mechanisms of DNS, we hypothesize that DNS exercises, through IAP regulation directed toward the pelvic cavity and contributing to stabilization, could serve as an effective and i…
