This study will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on stress urinary incontinence and its impact on gait. The findings may have implications for the development of targeted interventions and rehabilitation strategies to improve mobility and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence
Use the provided software or tools to analyze the recorded data, including (cadence, velocity, swing, and double limb support, stride time, step length, and stride length) of gait. The software measures the cadence as total number of steps per minute, and it measures the stride time as the time (in sec) from heel strike of one limb to the next heel strike of the same limb. Also, the software measures the duration of stance, swing, and double limb support as percentage of stride time. Also, the software measures the step and stride length (in cm).

* The ISSI consists of eight items that assess different aspects of urinary incontinence symptoms, including emptying difficulties, nocturia, daytime frequency, stress incontinence, urge incontinence, leakage with activity, and pad use. * Each item is scored on a scale of (0 to 3) or (0 to 4), depending on the severity of the symptom. Higher scores indicate more severe symptoms. * The total ISSI score is obtained by summing the scores of all eight items, resulting in a range of 0 to 32 or 0 to 40, depending on the version used. * The severity of urinary incontinence symptoms can be categorized based on the total ISSI score
Use the provided software or tools to analyze the recorded force data, including Step Cycle Duration (ms), Time of Contact (ms), Swing Duration (ms), Single Step Duration (ms), Double Support Duration (ms), Initial Contact (ms) , Loading Response (ms), Mid Stance (ms), Terminal Stance (ms), Step Cycle Length, Half Step Length for left and right lower limbs. * Interpret the data to draw conclusions about the forces exerted during the subject's movements or activities.

RECRUITINGIncontinence Symptom Severity Index
The Incontinence Symptom Severity Index (ISSI) is a self-assessment instrument used to measure the severity of female urinary storage and voiding symptoms.
Time frame: one day
Force platform
After data collection, the recorded data is analysed to extract various gait parameters. These parameters include: Srtide lengh for left and right lower limbs, Srtide time for left and right lower limbs, Step Cycle Duration (ms), Time of Contact (ms), Swing Duration (ms), Double Support Duration (ms).The findings from the gait analysis are typically documented in a report to be used for statistical analysis.

The STT three-dimensional motion analysis (3DMA) system
The STT three-dimensional motion analysis (3DMA) system (STT Systems Company, Zuatzu Business Park, Easo Building, 2nd Floor, San Sebastián, Spain) was used for the assessment of spatiotemporal characteristics of gait. It is an indoor optical system that consists of four cameras, fifteen markers, and computer software for automatic three-dimensional motion capture and analysis. CLINICAL 3DMA V.6.11 is professional software with highly accurate marker tracking. The STT Helen Hayes protocol was used for the gait analysis in this study.
