Comparative Effects of Bebo Concept and Diaphragmatic Breathing Technique on Stress Incontinence
December 7, 2022 updated by: Riphah International University
Comparative Effects of Bebo Concept and Diaphragmatic Breathing Technique on Stress Incontinence in Females After Vaginal Birth
Pelvic floor muscle dysfunctions can lead to urinary incontinence, a condition which often affects female both during pregnancy and after childbirth.
As a result of this, certain exercises are recommended during and after pregnancy to prevent and treat this incontinence, and the BeBo Concept is one of these methods used to prevent pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.
Urinary incontinence among female is considered a social disease, which may affect up to 20-60% of the population of female over 18 years of age.
The strength and endurance of the pelvic floor muscles decrease significantly after the first delivery.
Research shows that 65% of female with urinary incontinence remember that the first episode of urine loss occurred during pregnancy or in the puerperium.
Prior to the study, all participants will be informed of the purpose and method of Conducting the research. .
A 6-week physical therapy program according to the BeBo Pelvic Floor Training Concept.
Individual meetings will be twice a week, each lasting 60 min.
Each meeting will consist of a theoretical part lasting up to 10 min and a practical part lasting about 50 min.
In addition, each participant will receive a set of exercises to be performed at home once daily.
For the experimental group, In the first week (meetings 1 and 2), the homework will include the following activities: concentration on the pelvic floor muscles and becoming aware of them in various body positions, mobilization of the pelvis in a sitting position on a chair- 10x, lying on the back with bent legs and activation of PFM with exhalation, inhalation- relaxation-10x, balance exercise, standing on one leg, 10 s each leg, and so on to 6 weeks.
Treatment protocol for Control Group (Diaphragmatic Breathing), Exercise programs will consist of 1 set of contractions per day and each set will include 30 repetitions for 6 weeks.
Female will be asked to complete forms before starting the program and again at the end of the 6-week program.

Prior to the study, all participants will be informed of the purpose and method of Conducting the research.
Each of them will sign an informed consent release to participate in the project and to process personal data for scientific purposes.
We confirm that all research will be performed in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations.

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
UDI-6 (Urinary distress inventory, short form)
Time Frame: 6 months
|
Urogenital Distress Inventory-6 (UDI-6) used to diagnose individuals with urinary incontinence
|
6 months
|
ICIQ-SF Questionnaire The ICIQ-UI Short Form
Time Frame: 6 months
|
The ICIQ-UI Short Form is a questionnaire for evaluating the frequency, severity and impact on quality of life (QoL) of urinary incontinence in men and women in research and clinical practice across the world.
This short and simple questionnaire is also of use to general practitioners and clinicians in both primary and secondary care institutions to screen for incontinence, to obtain a brief yet comprehensive summary of the level, impact and perceived cause of symptoms of incontinence and to facilitate patient-clinician discussions.

6 months
|
Palpation perfect test
Time Frame: 6 months
|
It is performed by inserting a finger (or fingers) into the vaginal cavity.
Pelvic floor muscle contraction can be felt and the therapist is looking for both a squeeze and lift.
