Results
In all, 84 Caucasian women entered the study, 41 to the training group and 43 controls, with the initial session occurring at a mean 9 weeks postpartum (range 6-13 weeks). Baseline characteristics are shown in Table 1. Four women (three from the TG) withdrew after the initial evaluation (Figure 1). Characteristics and delivery outcomes did not differ between participating and non-participating women except that women who dropped out were slightly younger and had smaller babies. Five women did not participate in any of the training sessions or did any home PFMT but contributed to the main outcome measures. All 33/41 women who attended the intervention completed all 12 sessions with the physiotherapist. No adverse treatment-effects were reported.
