Effect of Physiotherapy on Postmenopausal Women: A Review of Literature
Keywords:
post menopausal, urinary incontinence, insomnia, low bone density, insomnia, pelvic floor muscles and osteoporosisAbstract
We pursue a review of literature on the effect of physiotherapy on postmenopausal women and engender alist of evidence-reviewed articles. The articles on postmenopausal women that were finally chosen for review had to include a focus point on the key term,i.e., postmenopausal, urinary in continence, insomnia, low bone density, pelvic floor muscles, and osteoporosis. After a review of all the literature, it was concluded that regular physical activity appears to be an alternative method to reduce urinary in continence, insomnia, REM latency, andpain. It also helps in improving BMD, quality of life, dynamic balance, posture, muscle strength, and sleep quality that occur during the postmenopausal period.
Physiotherapy has a significant effect on urinary in continence,insomnia, and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. However, more randomised clinical trials need to be conducted in this area formore studies.
