The Impact of Trunk and Lower Extremity Electrical Stimulation on Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength in Females

Sponsor: Okan University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study aims to investigate the effects of whole-body electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) applied to the trunk and lower extremity muscles on pelvic floor muscle strength in healthy women. Since pelvic floor muscles are deep-seated and can be difficult to activate voluntarily, this research explores whether stimulating related muscle groups (core and legs) can provide an indirect benefit to pelvic floor strength. Participants will be divided into three groups (EMS + exercise, Sham-EMS + exercise, and exercise only) and will undergo a 6-week intervention program. Changes in pelvic floor muscle strength will be evaluated using a perineometer to determine the effectiveness of this non-invasive approach.
