Conditions
Interventions
The sample with 99 volunteers will perform 3 evaluations, with an interval of 3 months to check if there has been an improvement in the pelvic floor function.
The assessments will consist of the follo
International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), short version, which classifies the level of physical activity as low, moderate and high (IPAQ RESEARCH COMMITTEE et al., 2005
MATSUDO, 2012)
International Incontinence Consultation Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF) to check for urinary loss, its impact on quality of life and to qualify this loss (TAMANINI ET AL., 2004)
Anal Incontinence Index proposed by Jorge & Wexner (1993) to check for anal incontinence and classify it
and the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) that assesses sexual function in women (HENTSCHEL ET AL., 2007).
In addition to them, to check the strength, resistance and coordination of the pelvic floor

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Contraction capacity of the pelvic floor muscles, assessed through the pressure exerted by the pelvic floor muscles on a clinical biofeedback perineometer (PeritronTM from LABORIE Medical Technologies Canada ULC), based on the finding of any variation in the maximum and average peak pressure of the 3 peaks made.;Contraction capacity of the pelvic floor muscles, assessed by bidigital palpation, following the PERFECT scheme, grading the intensity of the contraction force of the pelvic floor muscles on a scale from 0 to 5 using the Modified Oxford Scale (P); evaluates resistance by recording the time (in seconds) of maintaining the contraction of the pelvic floor muscles (E); as well as motor coordination through the number of rapid contractions performed in 10 seconds (F). Any variation of 1 degree on the Oxford scale, 1 second in resistance and 1 contraction in the coordination assessment will be computed. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Adherence to the treatment program will be assessed through a direct question, whether the patient underwent or not, and how often, the proposed treatment.;Improvement of Urinary Incontinence, assessed by the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF), where the higher general score, the worse the incontinence.;Improvement of sexual function, assessed by the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), where the higher overall score, the better sexual function.;Improvement of Anal Incontinence, assessed by the Anal Incontinence Index proposed by Jorge & Wexner (1993), where the higher overall score, the worse incontinence. | — |
