The purpose of this study is to find out whether plantarflexion has an effect on the degree of urinary urgency and on the amplitude of detrusor contraction during filling cystometry in patients with detrusor overactivity (DO).
Patients with urodynamic DO will be included in this study. During urodynamics, the mean peak detrusor pressures of each contraction will be documented and compared. At the beginning of the 2nd or 3rd wave, patients will be asked to perform continuous plantar-flexion by pushing their tiptoes against the floor. Following each wave, patients will be asked to grade the severity of the urgency by a visual analogue scale

Mean Peak Detrusor Pressures
Mean peak detrusor pressures of each contraction
Time frame: through test completion, an average of 10 minutes
Severity of the Urgency by a 0-10 Visual Analogue Scale (VAS).
Following each wave, patients will be asked to grade the severity of the urgency by a 0 (minimum) to 10 (maximum) visual analogue scale (VAS).
Time frame: through test completion, an average of 10 minutes
