Summary

This study looks at whether applying electrical stimulation to the trunk and leg muscles can indirectly strengthen the pelvic floor in healthy women. Pelvic floor muscles are deep and hard to activate on purpose, so researchers want to see if stimulating nearby muscles helps. Sixty women will be split into three groups: one gets electrical stimulation plus exercise, another gets a fake stimulation plus exercise, and the third does exercise only. The program lasts 6 weeks, and pelvic floor strength is measured with a special pressure device.
