What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effects of a multidisciplinary intervention that includes physiotherapy, physical exercise, and psychoeducation on fall risk and urinary incontinence in older women aged 60 to 80 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: two exercise groups with different levels of verbal instruction, one exercise group without verbal instructions, and a control group. The intervention will last for 18 weeks, with exercise sessions conducted twice a week and psychoeducation sessions held five times throughout the program. The study aims to provide insights into the combined effects of these therapies on improving health outcomes for older women.
