Synchronized Core-Pelvic Floor Activation in Urinary Incontinence
Sponsor: Bezmialem Vakif University
Summary
This study aims to investigate whether co-activation of the pelvic floor and core muscles improves treatment outcomes in individuals with urinary incontinence. Participants diagnosed with stress, or mixed urinary incontinence will undergo a 12-week pelvic floor physiotherapy program, with or without additional core muscle co-activation exercises. Changes in urinary incontinence severity, pelvic floor muscle function, core muscle activation, and quality of life will be evaluated.

Interventions
Conventional Pelvic Floor Muscle Training
Participants will receive conventional pelvic floor muscle training based on standardized pelvic floor physiotherapy principles. Exercises will be performed for 12 weeks, at least three days per week, including one supervised session and two home-based sessions.
Pelvic Floor and Core Muscle Co-activation Training
Participants will receive pelvic floor muscle training combined with co-activation exercises targeting core muscles. The program will be conducted for 12 weeks with the same frequency and supervision structure as the control group.
