Urinary Incontinence
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among sagittal spinal curvatures, mobility, and low back pain in women with and without urinary incontinence.
Interventions
The sagittal thoracic spinal curvature and mobility of all participants were assessed with Spinal Mouse® (Idiag, Fehraltorf, Switzerland) in standing position.
Low back pain intensity of the patients was questioned by Visual Analogue Scale
The presence and severity of various urogenital symptoms was assessed with the Urogenital Distress Inventory-6
Disability caused by low back pain was assessed with the Oswestry Disability Index
