About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a mobile app-guided pelvic floor rehabilitation program works as well as standard in-person pelvic floor rehabilitation to treat urinary leakage in adult women.
The main question it aims to answer is:
Does the app program improve quality of life related to urinary leakage as much as in-person rehabilitation?
Researchers will compare the app-based program to in-person rehabilitation to see if both lead to similar improvements in quality of life.
Participants will:
Attend one medical visit before starting to confirm they are eligible Attend one in-person training session with a physiotherapist Follow either an app-based or an in-person pelvic floor rehabilitation program for 3 months Complete quality of life questionnaires at the start and at 4 months
