This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a combination of exercise classes, pelvic floor muscle training, and group counseling sessions can help older women reduce their risk of falls and urinary incontinence. You would participate in twice-weekly exercise classes for 18 weeks, with some participants also receiving pelvic floor instruction and/or counseling support. The researchers want to see which combination works best.
Falls and urinary incontinence are common problems for older women and can seriously affect quality of life and independence. While exercise and education are known to help separately, there is limited evidence on how combining them together affects both conditions.

You would attend exercise classes twice per week for 18 weeks, focusing on balance, strength, and flexibility using elastic bands and other light equipment. Depending on which group you're assigned to, you may also receive one-on-one instruction on pelvic floor exercises and/or attend five group counseling sessions to address concerns about falls and incontinence. You'll also complete some simple tests (like standing up and reaching, or jumping tests) and questionnaires to measure your progress. After the 18-week program ends, you'll be monitored for an additional 24 weeks to see if the benefits last.
