Effect of proprioception training combined with biofeedback electrical stimulation on pelvic floor muscle strength,urodynamics and quality of life inpatients with postpartum stress urinary incontinence
Objective To explore the effect of proprioception training combined with biofeedback electrical stimulation on pelvic floor muscle strength,urodynamics and quality of life in patients with postpartum stress urinary incontinence.Methods A total of 160 patients with postpartum stress urinary incontinence admitted to Jiaozhou Center Hospital,Qingdao,Shandong from April 2021 to March 2023 were selected as study subjects and randomly divided into control group(n =80)and observation group(n =80).The control group received single biofeedback electrical stimulation,and the observation group received proprioception training combined with biofeedback electrical stimulation.Both groups were treated for 4 weeks.The pelvic floor muscle tension[modified Oxford muscle strength grading method(MOS)],urodynamic indexes[maximum bladder pressure measurement capacity(MCC),abdominal pressure leak point(ALPP),normal urinary bladder pressure measurement capacity(NDCC)and maximum urethral closure pressure(MCP)],clinical efficacy and quality of life[urinary incontinence quality of life questionnaire(I-QOL)]were compared between the two groups.Results After treatment,the MOS score,MCC,ALPP,NDCC and MCP of the observation group were higher compared with the control group(P<0.05).The total effective rate of the observation group was 95.00%,which was higher than 80.00%of control group(P<0.05).After treatment,the I-QOL score of the observation group was higher comparing with the control group(P<0.05).Conclusions Proprioception training combined with biofeedback electrical stimulation can significantly restore pelvic floor muscle strength and improve the clinical curative effect in patients with postpartum stress urinary incontinence.
