Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The study is to evaluate if by using RTUS, patients with urinary stress incontinence can learn more quickly how to co-contract the Transversus Abdominis muscle (TrA) and Pelvic Floor Muscles (PFM) in order to rehabilitate the pelvic floor and thereby reduce or eradicate the distressful symptoms of leakage. If RTUS can shorten the number of sessions required for patients to learn correctly how to co-contract the pelvic floor muscles this would enable physiotherapists to see a greater number of patients .	—
