Video Game-Based Balance Training in Children With Lower Urinary Tract Dysfunction

This study aims to investigate the effects of video game-based balance exercises, in addition to standard treatment, in children aged 5-12 years with lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTD). The single-center study will include 30 children who will be randomly assigned to an experimental group (video game-based balance exercises + standard treatment) or a control group (standard treatment only). Children in the experimental group will play selected balance games using the Wii console and Wii Balance Board twice a week for 8 weeks. All participants will receive the standard program consisting of urotherapy, diaphragmatic breathing exercises, biofeedback-assisted pelvic floor muscle training, and functional exercises. Outcomes will be assessed using a Bladder Diary, uroflowmetry, ultrasonography for post-void residual urine, pelvic floor muscle activity with EMG, the Dysfunctional Voiding and Incontinence Symptoms Score Questionnaire(DVISS), quality of life with the Pediatric Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (PinQ), balance tests, the McGill Core Endurance Test, and the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale.
