Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Increase in muscle function of voluntary participants in the intervention group observed after 4 weeks of intervention by maximum voluntary contraction measured by perineometry with increase in muscle pressure levels of the pelvic floor muscles.;There were no significant difference in the intergroup analysis in relation to muscle function assessed by perineometry (p = 0:08). The average difference in the Maximum voluntary contraction between the groups after four weeks was 4.3 cm H2O (95% - 5:33 to 13.93). However, significant differences were found in maximal voluntary contraction in intra-group analysis for the intervention group (p = 0.002) (95% CI -2.73 to -13.69 5.48) and no significant differences for the control group (p = 0.45). | — |

| Incremento na Função muscular das voluntárias Participantes do grupo Intervenção verificada apos como 4 Semanas de Intervenção POR Meio da eletromiografia com aumentos NAS amplitudes de Atividade Elétrica Gerada Pela contração muscular e palpação vaginal Que Será graduada Pela escala de Oxford Modificada (Variação de grau 0 a 5 ) com melhora no grau de Função. Reduction of urinary loss, after 4 weeks of educational activity, as assessed by the reduction in questionnaire scores International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF), used internationally validated and culturally adapted into Portuguese. Improvement in sexual function after 4 weeks of educational activity, assessed by questionnaire Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), also validated and culturally adapted into Portuguese. Increase knowledge related to the pelvic floor muscles by means of a questionnaire developed by the researchers in this study for this purpose.;Regarding the results for the contraction capacity assessed by vaginal palpation, no significant differences were found in the intergroup analysis (p = 0.42). To reduce urinary incontinence in severity and impact of UI on quality of life (ICIQ-SF score) there was no significant difference in the intergroup analysis regarding the reduction of the used questionnaire score (95% CI 0.3 to 2.92 -2.32), but the intragroup analysis found a significant difference to the group intervention (p = 0.004) (95% CI -2.27 -4.90 to 00:36) and no significant differences for the control group (p = 0.11) (95% CI -1.18 -3.93 to 1.57). As for the increase of knowledge related to floor muscles pelvic met difference significant to all the issues raised (location of floor muscles pelvic p= 0.01, depending on the floor muscles pelvic p <0.001, dysfunction p<0.001, treatment options p = 0.001) in the intervention group and significant difference only to the issue of treatment options for the control group (p =0.01). | — |
