Beyond the pelvis: could hip and leg alignment hold clues to stress incontinence?

This study looks at whether stress urinary incontinence in postmenopausal women is linked not just to the pelvic floor, but also to the alignment of the hips, legs, and spine. Researchers will compare ultrasound measurements of the bladder and urethra, along with post-void residual volume and lower-limb alignment, between women with and without symptoms. The goal is to see if these broader body measurements differ between the two groups and if they relate to how well the bladder empties.
