Aims: to describe a PFMT protocol isolated and associated to the game therapy for Mixed Urinary Incontinence (MUI) treatment among women facing the climacteric period. Methods: In order to standardise a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial intervention composed by two arms a protocol was created including strength and endurance exercises of Pelvic Floor Muscles (PFM) as well as abdomino-loin-pelvic complex muscles. The study will be composed by 32 volunteers divided into two groups of 16 performing PFMT isolated (PFMTG) and associated to Wii® games (GG) during 8 weeks of 2 appointments each. Results: It is expected an increase on PFM strength and endurance for both groups equally or better vaginal manometry results for GG than PFMTG. It is also expected an increase on PFM improvement of UI symptoms evaluated by ICIQ-SF and 1-hour Pad test for both groups equally or better for GG than PFMTG. It is supposed that GG volunteers present better treatment adherence due to game motivational element. On the other hand it is expected that PFMTG volunteers to show better PFM perception since the exercise focus will be fully on the muscles. Conclusion: It is expected to apply this protocol and to find benefits of this method to climacteric women with urinary incontinence.
