Measure effect of postural correction in abdominopelvic exercises on the improvement of the quality of life in patients with SUI. 42 women aged between 46-75 with SUI and stress-predominant mixed urinary incontinence. There were randomly assigned two groups of different treatment. Quality of life was measured by questionnaires: Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-IU-SF) and King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) global punctuation and incontinence impact. Treatment satisfaction was measured by VAS scale.
The aim of this study was compare the effect of postural correction in abdominopelvic exercises on the improvement of the quality of life in patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Was a randomized 2-treatment parallel design study. The sample consist in 42 women aged between 46-75 with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and stress-predominant mixed urinary incontinence (IUM). They were randomly assigned to two groups: Group 1 (n=21) who received abdomino-pelvic training, and Group 2(n=21) who received the above treatment, guidelines about postural correction. Both groups received 12 treatment sessions in first session information regarding clinical and demographical aspects will be collected. To evaluate results of postural correction combined with abdominopelvic exercise women was assessed:at initial session, post- intervention and 3 months post-intervention treatment.Quality of life was measured by spanish validation questionnaires: International Continence Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-IU-SF) and King's Health Questionnaire (KHQ) global punctuation and incontinence impact. Treatment satisfaction was measured by Visual analogic scale (VAS).

Changes from Quality of life. KHQ
The questionnaire KHQ consists of 30 items distributed in 9 dimensions that we expose below, the scores of this questionnaire vary from 0 to 100, each item presents a scale type Likert with four options of response. The score of the KHQ questionnaire can be globally with a range of 0 (which indicates better health-related quality of life) at 100 points (indicating a worse quality of life)
Time frame: baseline,3 months,6 months
Changes from Quality of life. ICIQ-IU-SF
t consists of four questions that assess the presence of urge urinary incontinence, the amount of fluid evacuated and the involvement of the quality of life. The final score oscillates from 0-21, indicating higher scores to greater severity of the IU.
Time frame: baseline,3 months, 6 months
Treatment satisfaction
Visual analogic scale (VAS, 0-10, 0=minimum score, 10=maximum score). Higher values represent a better outcome (less treatment satisfaction)
Time frame: 3 months
Changes from IU impact. KHQ
Question nº2 of KHQ measured IU impact in patient's life. Is a Likert scale 0-4 punctuation ( 0= no proceed, 4= A lot)
Time frame: baseline,3 months, 6 months
Changes from IU impact.ICIQ-IU-SF
Question nº3 of ICIQ-IU-SF, measured IU impact in patient's life.Is a numeric scale (1-10),(1= none and 10= a lot )
Time frame: Initial,3 months, 6 months
