Summary: The study aimed to produce a pelvic floor muscle training variation of the CERT for physiotherapists specializing in continence and pelvic floor rehabilitation. Qualitative methods were used to explore perspectives and collate participant quotations for necessary explanations. The resulting CERT-PFMT guideline can be used for documenting pelvic floor muscle training and manuscripts reporting on urinary incontinence.

Summary: Pelvic floor muscle training and duloxetine have limited impact on improving urinary continence recovery after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), while complete preservation of neurovascular bundles (NVB) is the primary determinant for early urinary continence recovery.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) with animation versus standard instruction in reducing stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The results showed that the PFMT application group had higher adherence to the exercises at 8 and 12 weeks compared to the control group. However, there was no significant difference in SUI cure rate, symptom severity, and quality of life effects between the two groups. Nevertheless, the mobile app group showed better improvement in terms of SUI episodes and quality of life effects.

Summary: This study found that women with stress urinary incontinence benefit more from pelvic floor muscle training plus abdominal training than from pelvic floor muscle training alone in terms of increasing their pelvic floor muscle activity and quality of life, and they also experience an earlier recovery.

Summary: This study describes a new type of urinary frequency symptoms called myofascial urinary frequency syndrome (MUFS), which is present in about one-third of patients with urinary frequency. MUFS patients exhibit persistency, a persistent feeling of needing to urinate regardless of urine volume. The examination shows that most of them have pelvic floor hypertonicity and impaired muscular relaxation, which are hallmarks of myofascial dysfunction. By confirming the presence of persistency in patients with pelvic floor myofascial dysfunction, this study confirms that MUFS is a distinct symptom complex.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of a perioperative pelvic floor muscle training program on post-radical prostatectomy patients' urinary incontinence symptoms and quality of life. The results showed that after 3 months, patients in the pelvic floor muscle training group had significantly lower scores for incontinence symptoms and voiding, incontinence, frequency, nocturia symptoms, and higher quality of life scores compared to the control group.
