Patients who could apply home exercise training continuously were included in the study. Detailed anamnesis form, pelvic floor force examination findings, urodynamic examination records and incontinence forms they filled were examined. Muscle force results, urodynamic values and incontinence forms of patients at the end of third month were compared to initial values. Results: While evaluating results of pelvic floor muscle exercise with biofeedback performed using FemiScan, Electromyography (EMG) amplitude difference, Bladder fullness (BF), Vesical pressure (VP) and BF/VP difference were taken as objective criteria. In the result of statistical analysis of these data, statistically significant increase was observed in EMG amplitude (P |
