- Abstract
Effective control of urethral closure mechanisms is essential for female urinary continence, involving mechanism similar to that required for sacroiliac stability. Studies have demonstrated benefits in the functional rehabilitation of the pelvic floor, after treatment of patients with low back pain, using osteopathic manipulation techniques. Primary objective of this study was to evaluate the improvement of urinary incontinence after musculoskeletal manipulation (OMT), associated with pelvic physiotherapy (PF). Patients from the Physiotherapy Division of the Policlínica Piquet Carneiro/UERJ, diagnosed with uncomplicated urinary incontinence, aged between 21 and 65 years, answered the questionnaires: International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form - ICIQ, Stress Urinary Incontinence Questionnaire - SUIQ, Overactive Bladder Questionnaire - ICIQ-OAB qol, and the quality of life and general health questionnaire - EQ5D. The perineal force was evaluated through functional evaluation of the pelvic floor. Patients were divided: in the FP group submitted to the FP protocol, and in the OMT group submitted to the same protocol, associated with OMT, for 10 weeks. In the present study the use of OMT associated with PF, obtained results similar to the use of PF alone, and did not add improvement in the response to treatment of uncomplicated urinary incontinence.
