Urinary incontinence (UI) is defined as any uncontrolled urine leakage. Pelvic floor muscles (PFM) appear to be a crucial aspect of trunk and lumbo-pelvic stability, and UI is one indication of pelvic floor dysfunction. The evaluation of pelvic tilt and lumbar angle is critical in assessing the alignment and posture of the spine in the lower back region and pelvis, and both of these variables are directly related to female dysfunction in the pelvic floor. UI affects a significant number of women worldwide and can have a major impact on their quality of life. However, traditional methods of assessing these parameters involve manual measurements, which are time-consuming and prone to variability. The rehabilitation programs for pelvic floor dysfunction (FSD) in physical therapy often focus on pelvic floor muscles (PFMs), while other core muscles are overlooked. Therefore, this study aimed to predict the activity of various core muscles in multiparous women with FSD using multiple scales instead of relying on Ultrasound imaging. Decision tree, SVM, random forest, and AdaBoost models were applied to predict pelvic tilt and lumbar angle using the train set. Performance was evaluated on the test set using MSE, RMSE, MAE, and R2. Pelvic tilt prediction achieved R2 values > 0.9, with AdaBoost (R2 = 0.944) performing best. Lumbar angle prediction performed slightly lower with decision tree achieving the highest R2 of 0.976. Developing a machine learning model to predict pelvic tilt and lumbar angle has the potential to revolutionize the assessment and management of this condition, providing faster, more accurate, and more objective assessments than traditional methods.
