First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a remote physiotherapy session works as well as an in-person one for teaching pelvic floor exercises to women with urinary incontinence. 92 women who could not properly contract their pelvic floor muscles were randomly assigned to a face-to-face session, a real-time remote session, or no instruction. The main goal was to see if both teaching methods improved muscle contraction ability equally.
