Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week pelvic floor muscle training program is practical and helpful for people with motor-incomplete spinal cord injury. Thirty participants will do exercises five times a week. Researchers will track how many people join, stick with the program, and whether it improves bladder, bowel, and sexual function.

What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to improve bladder, bowel, and sexual function for people with spinal cord injury.
