Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to find out whether plantarflexion has an effect on the degree of urinary urgency and on the amplitude of detrusor contraction during filling cystometry in patients with detrusor overactivity (DO).

Detailed description

Patients with urodynamic DO will be included in this study. During urodynamics, the mean peak detrusor pressures of each contraction will be documented and compared. At the beginning of the 2nd or 3rd wave, patients will be asked to perform continuous plantar-flexion by pushing their tiptoes against the floor. Following each wave, patients will be asked to grade the severity of the urgency by a visual analogue scale

Recruitment details

Ninety three consecutive patients underwent multichannel urodynamic study. All patients were referred for urodynamics in order to evaluate lower urinary tract symptoms. Twenty seven were diagnosed with DO. Twenty two patients were included in the study and comprised the study cohort. Five patients were excluded due to physical disability.

Pre-assignment details

Twenty seven patients were diagnosed with DO. Twenty two patients were included in the study and comprised the study cohort. Five patients were excluded due to physical disability.
