Beyond the pelvis: could hip and leg alignment hold clues to stress incontinence?
NCT ID NCT07747727
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If this trial succeeds, it could reveal that body alignment and hip structure play a role in stress incontinence, potentially opening new avenues for diagnosis or therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may not lead to new treatments, and the measurements may not reliably distinguish between groups.

Inclusion Criteria: post menoupausal women, who had at least 12 months of amenorrhea or follicle-stimulating hormone values within the menopausal range and who could stand and walk independently to allow lower-limb and alignment assessments. \- Exclusion Criteria:women with urge or mixed incontinence as the dominant symptom, prior pelvic floor or anti-incontinence surgery, severe pelvic organ prolapse (stage 3 or greater), or neurological conditions affecting bladder function or gait, as well as those with hip or spine surgery likely to alter spinopelvic parameters \-
