Weekly Pilates sessions, guided by a specialized physiotherapist. The duration of the treatment was 10 weeks, and each session lasted 45 to 50 minutes. All subjects received instruction to perform specific daily home exercises.

For also 10 weeks, the participants went trough anal electrical stimulation associated with Pelvic Floor Muscle Training, supervised by a specialized physiotherapist. All subjects received orientation to perform the same pelvic floor exercises at home.

PILATES

PFMT and AES

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy between a Pilates exercise program and a Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) protocol combined with anal electrical stimulation (AES) in the recovery of urinary continence (UI) after radical prostatectomy.

There are no studies that evaluate Pilates mat exercises for incontinence in men although it can be assured that this method has the pelvic floor contractions as a principle for practice. If this new therapeutic approach proves to be as effective as described treatment in improving urinary complaints, it will be an option for patients who prefer a non-invasive treatment.

This randomized clinical trial includes 69 individuals with urinary incontinence one month after radical prostatectomy. One physiotherapist, with experience in urogynecology, was responsible for all the assessments. Urinary frequency, nocturia, 24-hour pad test, number of pads used per day, and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF) were the variables evaluated.

The subjects were allocated in one of two treatment groups (G1: Pilates; G2: anal electrical stimulation combined with pelvic floor muscle training). Volunteers participated of 10 sessions of the corresponding treatment and were reassessed objectively by the number of pads used per day, and subjectively with the score of quality of life.

Control

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy between a Pilates exercise program and a Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) protocol combined with anal electrical stimulation (AES) in muscular pressure strength of the pelvic floor as conservative treatment of urinary incontinence after prostatectomy.

This randomized clinical trial includes 115 individuals with urinary incontinence one month after radical prostatectomy. One physiotherapist, with experience in urogynecology, was responsible for all the assessments. muscular pressure strength of the pelvic floor, 24-hour pad test and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire - Short Form (ICIQ-SF) were the variables evaluated.

The subjects were allocated in one of three treatment groups (G1: Pilates; G2: anal electrical stimulation combined with pelvic floor muscle training and G3: Control Group).
