Detailed Description
overactive bladder syndrome occurs globally and affects both genders with studies indicating high prevalence in obese females. Obesity brings with it not only an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases, but also urological dysfunction including overactive bladder. Pilates exercise and diet can be used as ways for controlling overactive bladder symptoms and improving overall health of obese subjects. Integration of telerehabilitation in the clinical practice benefits both providers and patients as well decreasing healthcare costs, so the objective of this study to determine the effect of telerehabilitation on overactive bladder symptoms and metabolic health in obese women through Pilates exercise and Mediterranean diet .

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Active Comparator: group 1 telerehabilitation group subjects in this group will receive telerehabilitation sessions through online video programs (including Pilates exercise and diet) 3 times per week for 12 weeks. Outcome measures will be evaluated at baseline and after 12 weeks |
Other: Pilates exercises
Pilates is a group of low impact muscle exercises that strengthen abdominal muscles, back, hips and pelvic floor muscles. the exercise consists of 10 min warm up, 40 min exercise and 10 min cooling down. the exercises that will be included: spine twist, double leg stretch, double leg circles, side leg circle, curl up, shoulder bridges and pelvic curl.
Behavioral: Mediterranean diet
it is a type of diet used for obesity management based on high vegetable intake, olive oil as a source of fat, the consumption of grains, legumes, and nuts with high amounts of pulp, low-medium consumption of fish, low consumption of red meat.
|
| Other: group 2 control group subjects in this group will be informed about the importance of Pilates exercise and diet for one session only. subjects will be asked to apply the exercise at home 3 times per week for 12 weeks and diet. Outcome measures will be evaluated at baseline and after 12 weeks |

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- body mass index [at baseline and after 12 weeks of the intervention]
it is calculated by dividing weight in kg on height in m square
- waist circumference [at baseline and after 12 weeks of the intervention]
it is an indicator of central obesity with waist circumference more than 88 cm is considered central obesity in females
- overactive bladder questionnaire short form [at baseline and after 12 weeks of the intervention]
is a questionnaire that is divided into two sections : symptoms and quality of life. In symptoms section, the higher the scores the more the symptoms that bother the patients. higher scores in quality of life section indicates better quality of life.
- patient perception of intensity of urgency scale [at baseline and after 12 weeks of the intervention]
a scale ranges from 0 to 4 that measures the degree of urgency with micturition with higher scores indicate higher perception of urgency
- HOMA IR [at baseline and after 12 weeks of the intervention]
The homeostatic model assessment (HOMA IR) is a method used to quantify insulin resistance . derived from the product of the insulin and glucose values divided by a constant.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- telehealth usability questionnaire [after 12 weeks of the intervention]
a comprehensive questionnaire that covers all usability factors (i.e., usefulness, ease of use, effectiveness, reliability, and satisfaction). It is used with various types of telehealth systems, including the traditional videoconferencing systems, computer-based systems, and the mobile telehealth systems.
