| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The objectives of this study were to investigate stress urinary incontinence, a hidden social issue among women , and to develop a pelvic floor muscle exercise program that would be effective and maintainable. Approximately 10% of subjects experience stress urinary incontinence every day and either do nothing to treat it or use pads. Study subjects with stress urinary incontinence had lower scores on seven health-related quality of life items compared with standard national values. We believe that it is necessary to introduce an exercise method that can be easily performed in daily life. A basic study of muscle activities revealed that it was difficult to achieve a sufficient level of pelvic floor muscle activity using commonly used pelvic floor muscle exercises; however, study results suggested that it was possible to attain efficient muscle activity using compound exercises of the lower extremity and trunk.
