Study Description

Brief Summary

It is essential to provide the community with evidenced-based care to optimize healthcare outcomes; more specifically, women in underserved communities undergoing health disparities in rehabilitation. To address this issue, a movement-based pelvic health education course was developed to assess women's knowledge and adherence of the exercises in an underserved region in Western Arkansas.The purpose of this research was to determine the effectiveness of a single movement-based pelvic health education session on general pelvic health knowledge, underactive pelvic floor, and overactive pelvic floor knowledge and adherence to performing pelvic exercises in women.
