Pelvic floor muscle training can significantly increase continence in adults.
Is it true that pelvic floor muscle training can significantly increase continence in adults?
Yes. Multiple clinical trials and meta-analyses support the conclusion that pelvic floor muscle training significantly improves continence and reduces urinary incontinence symptoms in adults.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 4 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The provided literature contains multiple randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews showing that pelvic floor muscle training and its variations (such as app-delivered or biofeedback-assisted PFMT) significantly improve urinary continence and reduce incontinence episodes. There are no papers refuting the core claim.
