| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| NNumber of daily pads - Daily Pad Used (evaluated before any treatment and after eight weeks of follow-up - 9th session): the Daily pad used assessment tool consists of counting how many pads the client needs to use during 24 hours. From this quantification, it is possible to classify urinary incontinence as mild (when the client uses one to two liners / absorbents per day), moderate (three absorbents per day) and severe (more than three absorbents per day).;Severity of urinary incontinence - 1 hour pad test (evaluated before any treatment and after eight weeks of follow-up - 9th session): it is a resource that consists of placing an absorbent next to the external urethral meatus, weighed on a scale high sensitivity before and after the end of the test. During the break, the participant is initially instructed to drink 500 milliliters of water and wait for 15 minutes. Then, it is submitted to walking for 30 minutes and a protocol that simulates activities of daily living (15 minutes). At the end of the one hour period, the absorbent is removed, which allows the assessment of urinary loss. The final result of the one hour Pad test allows classification in: continent (losses of up to 1 g); slight loss (between 1.1 and 9.9 g); moderate loss (between 10 to 49.9 g) and severe loss (above 50 g). | — |

| Severity of urinary incontinence - Urinary Incontinence Scale after Radical Prostatectomy (UISRP) (evaluated before any treatment and after eight weeks of follow-up - 9th session): it is an instrument developed and validated in China in 2010 that assesses urinary incontinence considering radical prostatectomy as its causal factor. It consists of eight items in which the participants must indicate the severity from the five-point Likert scale, in which, zero corresponds to "never" and four to "always". The score ranges from 0 to 32, with higher scores indicating greater severity of urinary incontinence.;Impact of urinary incontinence on Quality of life - “International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form” (ICIQ-SF) (assessed before any treatment and after eight weeks of follow-up - 9th session): it is a simple, brief questionnaire and self-administered capable of characterizing urinary loss and its impact on the quality of life of patients suffering from urinary incontinence. It consists of six questions: the first two refer to demographic data (age and sex); the next three assess the frequency, severity and impact of urinary incontinence; and the last question consists of a set of eight items related to the causes or situations of urinary incontinence experienced. The total score is obtained by adding the scores of questions three, four and five, with values ranging from zero to 21, considering that the higher the score obtained, the worse the quality of life.;Impact of low urinary tract symptoms on Quality of life - King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) (assessed before any treatment and after eight weeks of follow-up - 9th session): it is a questionnaire built and validated in English in 1997 with the purpose of evaluating the quality of life of women with urinary incontinence. The KHQ consists of 21 questions, divided into eight domains. Numerical values are assigned to all answers, added and evaluated by domain, therefore there is no general scor | — |
