The Objective of the study is to assess the effectiveness of Knack manoeuvre among women with urinary incontinence.
A quasi-experimental study with a repeated measures design was used to conduct study at Saveetha Medical College Hospital. Experimental group received Knack manoeuvre for 6 months and control group received routine care. The sample size was 100, which was recruited by purposive sampling technique. The data were collected with structured questionnaire, and questionnaire for urinary incontinence diagnosis and biophysiological parameters were assessed by abdominal leak peak pressure (ALPP).
The study results depict that frequency and percentage distribution of pretest and post-test level of ALPP. Between group comparison of post-test at 6 months of control and experimental showed significance ( < 0.001). There was a progressive decrease in ALPP of control and experimental groups.
To our knowledge, this is the first prospective nonrandomized study that assesses the efficacy of the Knack manoeuvre on urine incontinence by assessing biophysiological parameters.
本研究的目的是评估凯克手法对尿失禁女性的有效性。
采用重复测量设计的准实验研究，在萨维塔医学院医院进行研究。实验组接受凯克手法治疗6个月，对照组接受常规护理。样本量为100，采用目的抽样技术招募。通过结构化问卷收集数据，并通过腹压漏尿峰值压力（ALPP）评估尿失禁诊断问卷和生物生理参数。
研究结果描述了ALPP测试前和测试后水平的频率和百分比分布。对照组和实验组6个月后测试的组间比较显示有显著性差异（<0.001）。对照组和实验组的ALPP均呈逐渐下降趋势。
据我们所知，这是第一项通过评估生物生理参数来评估凯克手法对尿失禁疗效的前瞻性非随机研究。
