Comparison of the Effectiveness of Kegel Exercises and 360-degree Expanded Diaphragm Breathing Pattern Training in Individuals With Urinary Incontinence
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of transferring the healthy intra-abdominal pressure created by 360 degree expanded diaphragm breathing taught to the patient to the pelvic cavity on incontinence problems.
66 people with a score of 3 or higher on the Incontinence Severity Index will be included in the study. All participants will complete the King Health Questionnaire and Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaires. The control group will consist of 33 people and will apply only Kegel exercises 2 sets a day, 3 days a week for 8 weeks. The experimental group will consist of 33 people and the participants will apply Kegel exercises for 8 weeks, 3 days a week, 2 sets a day. In addition to this, 360 degree expanded diaphragm breathing training will be given to the experimental group. Practices for using this breathing pattern will be done 2 sets per day, each set for 10 minutes. At the end of 8 weeks, all 3 questionnaires will be asked to be filled again. The variation between the initial results and the final results, as well as the differences between the final changes, will also be compared.
