Brief summary

The purpose of this study is analyse the effects of treatment of individual kynesiotherapy, group kynesiotherapy, vaginal cones and electrical stimulation in urine loss, pelvic floor muscles function, peak torque of the hip adductor and abductors muscles, quality of life and sexual function in women with stress urinary incontinence.

Interventions

Participants will be divided into four treatment groups: treatment of individual kynesiotherapy; treatment of group kynesiotherapy, treatment with the use of vaginal cones and treatment with the use of electrical stimulation. The treatment will be 12 sessions lasting 30-60 minutes and supervised by a physiotherapist. In treatments of kynesiotherapy the strengthen the pelvic floor muscles will be accomplished through voluntary contraction in different positions (supine, sitting and standing). In

In treatments of kynesiotherapy the strengthen the pelvic floor muscles will be accomplished through voluntary contraction in different positions (supine, sitting and standing). In the treatment with the use of vaginal cones the strengthen also be accomplished in different positions but with the introduction of progressive weight cones. In treatment with the use of an intravaginal electrical stimulation the electrode is inserted into the vagina of the participant inducing muscle contraction associated with voluntary contraction.
