Abstract
Objective. Research objective was to analyse selected risk factors for the incidence of urinary incontinence in a randomly selected group of women, as well as the frequency of accompanying symptoms. The level of consciousness and behaviour of women who experienced urinary incontinence were also analysed.
Material and methods. The survey covered 146 women aged 20 to 79, at the day rehabilitation ward at Professor Bogusław Frańczuk’s Lesser Poland Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Hospital in Krakow. The authors’ questionnaire containing 32 questions and the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (ODI) were used for the research.
Results. There was a statistically significant correlation between the incidence of urinary incontinence and age in the respondents. In the youngest age group, the mean for the declared urinary incontinence was 46.5, while in the older groups it was over 80. The results also indicate a significant increase in pain in the lumbar spine in the group that experienced urinary incontinence (mean = 20.93) in relation to the rest of the respondents (mean = 12.83).
Conclusions. The problem of incontinence is age dependent, but it is common in all age groups. There is a relationship between the incidence of urinary incontinence and the method of giving birth and perinatal factors. It has also been found that women experiencing urinary incontinence episodes suffer from more pain. The vast majority of women who experience urinary incontinence do not undertake any treatment attempts.

Fizjoterapia Polska 2007; 7(2), 124-132

Abstract

Background. Urinary incontinence and disturbances of perineal muscle and nerve activity in women after gynecological surgery have a major influence on the patients’ quality of life. Using global EMG data, it is possible to customize parameters for spinal FES and perineal EMS treatments and to objectively assess treatment outcomes. Material and methods. 15 women after gynecological surgery with disturbances of micturition underwent gynecological and urodynamic assessments, sonography, global EMG with a vaginal probe and magnetic field-induced motor evoked potentials (MEP) tests. The parameters for EMS and FES were customised on the basis of those diagnostic tests and the treatments were self-administered by patients for 2 months. Quality of life changes were assessed with Prof. Kowalik’s quality of life assessment scale at baseline and at the end of the treatment. Results. In 12 patients, EMG and MEP recordings revealed that the disturbances were caused by axonal degeneration of motor fibres rather than by impaired impulsation at the spinal centre level. Mean values of perineal muscle resting potentials were 2.52 pV before and 1.87 pV after treatment. Contraction strength rose from 14.7 pV to 16.9 pV The self-reported 20-domain quality of life scale showed increased current and future-oriented satisfaction with life. Conclusions. A two-month cycle of FES and EMS improved motor unit function at maximum contraction. MEP studies revealed improved conduction from spinal motor centres to muscles, especially if EMS of perineal muscles had been supplemented with lumbo-sacral FES.

摘要
简介。与骨盆底肌肉张力降低相关的中枢稳定机制紊乱有可能是腰椎疼痛综合征产生的原因。研究目的在评估对脊椎疼痛妇女的腰椎骶部或骨盆底肌肉进行深度电磁刺激的效用。
材料和方法。共109名脊椎骨关节炎女性患者参与研究,分为两组进行。研究组中有45名女性,治疗周期包括对骨盆底肌肉进行10次的深度电磁刺激。对等组中有64名女性,其治疗应用部位在腰部周围。以VAS量表为基础评估治疗的有效性及运动功能和自理能力的评估。
结果。观察到两组均在以VAS量表为基础的脊椎疼痛上显著降低 – Me(IQR)为:研究组在治疗前5 (4-7)及治疗后2 (1-3),而对等组在治疗前6 (4-7)及治疗后3 (2-4)。移动和日常活动能力也获得显著改善,然而获得的治疗效果不持久,研究组中半数患者的镇痛效果最多维持2个月(IQR: 1-4),对等组则最多4个月(IQR: 2-6)。
结论。无论应用的部位为何,深度电磁刺激可减轻患腰椎骶骨综合症女性的疼痛并改善其步态功能和自理能力。2. 对腰椎骶骨周围施以治疗将使镇痛时间持续较久。

骨盆底肌肉的深层电磁刺激对压迫性尿失禁患者腰骶部不适的影响

摘要
研究目的。研究目的在评估骨盆底肌肉的深层电磁刺激对压迫性尿失禁女性患者腰骶部不适的影响。
材料及方法。该研究针对85名患慢性腰骶部疼痛综合征及尿失禁的女性进行,施以10次疗程系列的骨盆底深层电磁刺激,治疗的有效性评估以VAS量表、日常生活功能评估及尿失禁症状的严重程度变化为基础。
结果。治疗后可发现以VAS – Me(IQR) 量表为基础的脊柱疼痛严重程度在统计上显著减少,治疗前为5(4-7),治疗后为3(1-4),其移动能力及日常活力在统计上也有显著改善。尿失禁发生的频率在统计上显著减少且尿量也减少。所获得的疗效不具持久性,半数女性患者在止痛效果和尿失禁症状改善上只持续最多两个月(腰骶部疼痛的IQR:1-3个月,尿失禁症状的IQR:1-2个月)。
结论。1. 骨盆底肌肉的深层电磁刺激对腰椎骶椎部疼痛的缓和及压迫性尿失禁症状减少具有影响。2. 改善效果并不持久。
