Abstract
Background: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is one of the pelvic floor dysfunctions that affecting the females in the middle age. The lumbo-pelvic position may affect the activity of the pelvic floor muscles, which play a primary role in the maintenance of continence and support of the abdominal and pelvic contents. Material and methods: Twenty-eight married females aged from 20-50 years old with stress urinary incontinence were included in this study. The severity of the SUI was determined by using the incontinence severity index (ISI). According to the ISI the patients were divided into two groups mild and moderate group. The lumbopelvic alignment was measured by using lateral standing radiograph of the lumbosacral spine then the measurement was carried out by using surgimap spine software. The parameters measured include lumbar lordosis, sacral slope, and pelvic tilt. A one way MANOVA test was run to compare all these parameters between both groups and a Spearman{u2019}s rank-order correlation was run to correlate between incontinence severity index and lumbopelvic parameters with the alpha level 0.05
