The aim of the study was to compare the effects of stabilization exercises and pelvic floor muscle training in women with stress urinary incontinence.
Stress urinary incontinence is involuntary urinary incontinence with increased intraabdominal pressure. Different exercise approaches such as pelvic floor exercises and stabilization exercises are used in these patients. There is a need for studies comparing the effects of these exercises.
