Brief Summary:
Optimal pelvic floor muscle function is known to assist bladder and bowel function and control pelvic organ support as well as other areas of health It is also known that problems in some of tehse areas can be a consequence of pelvic surgery By addressing the requirements for good bladder and bowel functioncontrol and organ support in the early post-surgery phase when tissue repair and scar formation are critical it is proposed that there will be a rduction in the longterm prevalence of bladder problems bowel difficulties and weakened pelvic floor and abdominal muscles in post-surgery patients This study is a randomised controlled trial to compare patients undergoing a physiotherapy-supervised pelvic floor muscle training and behavioural therapy program with a control group It is hypothesised that at the 12 month post-operative follow-up assessment the treatment group will demonstrate better outcomes in bladder and bowel function and control as well as stronger pelvic floor muscle contractile strength than the control group
Detailed Description:
Optimal pelvic floor muscle function is known to assist bladder and bowel function and control pelvic organ support as well as other areas of pelvic health It is also known that problems in some of these areas can develop after pelvic surgery By addressing the requirements for good bladder and bowel functioncontrol and organ support in the early post-surgical phase when tissue repair and scar formation are critical it is proposed that there will be a reduction in the long-term prevalence of bladder and bowel dysfunction and weak pelvic floor and abdominal muscles in post-surgical patients There have been no previous studies investigating whether a physiotherapy intervention can assist pelvic function in this group of surgical patients
This study aims to investigate the effect of a physiotherapy treatment program on pelvic function following gynaecological surgery
Comparisons Pre- and post-operative physiotherapy treatment vs no treatment following gynaecological surgery
Outcome measures Pelvic floor muscle strength urine leakage quality of life sexual functioning general fitness measured at 3 6 and 12 months post-operatively
