Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Presence of urinary tract infection; having performed previously, pelvic floor muscles training supervised by a professional health; Carriers myopathies and diseases with known alteration of collagen; Carriers neurological abnormalities, cognitive disorders and physical limitations that preclude participation in the study; presence of dystopia of grade III or IV found by physical examination by Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System - POP-Q.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Improvement in contractility of the pelvic floor muscles assessed by vaginal dynamometry after the virtual rehabilitation (10 sessions); Understand what the relationship between the normal pelvic posture (assessed by photogrammetry), contractility of the pelvic floor muscles (assessed by vaginal dynamometry) and transversus abdominis / internal oblique (assessed using surface electromyography) in women from 40 years (10 sessions).—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Improvement of urogynecological symptoms evaluated using specific and validated questionnaires before and after the intervention (10 sessions); Improvement of pelvic posture assessed by photogrammetry before and after the intervention (10 sessions); Improvement of co-activation between pelvic floor muscles and transversus abdominis / internal oblique muscles, evaluated, respectively, by vaginal dynamometry and surface electromyography before and after the intervention; Improvement of vaginal dystopias evaluated using the Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System - POP-Q, after the intervention (10 sessions).—
