Introdução: Nos últimos anos, a fisioterapia do pavimento pélvico (PP), nomeadamente, o treino dos músculos do PP (TMPP) tem revelado uma elevada importância em mulheres com incontinência urinária (IU), na otimização da função pélvica e qualidade de vida (QdV). Objetivo: Esta revisão sistemática procurou verificar os efeitos da fisioterapia do PP na função pélvica e QdV em mulheres com IU.
Metodologia: Pesquisa computorizada nas bases de dados, Pubmed, Scopus e Web of Science, recorrendo à combinação de palavras-chave: Fisioterapia; Incontinência urinária; QdV. A qualidade metodológica foi analisada através da escala de Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro). Resultados: Foram incluídos 19 artigos que cumpriram os critérios de elegibilidade com um total de 2253 participantes e com média aritmética de 8,4/10 na escala de PEDro. As intervenções do TMPP apresentaram efeitos positivos, ao nível de QdV, assim como na diminuição da perda involuntária de urina e aumento da força dos músculos do PP. Adicionalmente, o TMPP conciliado com o biofeedback, a eletroterapia ou o treino de Pilates, parece revelar efeitos significativos.
Conclusão: O TMPP é um tratamento eficaz para a IU em mulheres. O TMPP melhora significativamente a QdV de mulheres com IU, factor determinante para o estado físico, mental e social.
Introduction: In recent years, pelvic floor physiotherapy, namely pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) has shown a high importance in women with urinary incontinence (UI), optimizing pelvic function and quality of life (QoL). Purpose: This systematic review sought to verify the effects of pelvic floor physiotherapy on pelvic function and QoL in women with UI. Methodology: Computerized search in the databases Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science, using the combination of keywords: Physiotherapy; Urinary Incontinence; QoL. The methodological quality was analysed using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. Results: Nineteen articles meeting the eligibility criteria were included with a total of 2253 participants and an arithmetic mean of 8.4/10 on the PEDro scale. PFMT interventions showed positive effects on QoL, as well as in decreasing involuntary urine loss and increasing pelvic floor muscle strength. In addition, PFMT combined with biofeedback, electrotherapy or Pilates training seemed to reveal significant effects. Conclusion: PFMT is an effective treatment for UI in women. PFMT significantly improves the QoL of women with UI, a determining factor for physical, mental and social condition.
