Observational model: CASE_CONTROL
Time perspective: PROSPECTIVE
Sampling method: PROBABILITY_SAMPLE
Study population: One hundred twenty-four female participants who have stress urinary incontinence will participate in this study. Their ages will be ranged from 40 to 60 years. The participants will be selected from Mansoura University Hospitals and randomly distributed into two equal groups in numbers.

Brief summary: This study will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on stress urinary incontinence and its impact on gait. The findings may have implications for the development of targeted interventions and rehabilitation strategies to improve mobility and quality of life in women with stress urinary incontinence

Detailed description: Use the provided software or tools to analyze the recorded data, including (cadence, velocity, swing, and double limb support, stride time, step length, and stride length) of gait. The software measures the cadence as total number of steps per minute, and it measures the stride time as the time (in sec) from heel strike of one limb to the next heel strike of the same limb. Also, the software measures the duration of stance, swing, and double limb support as percentage of stride time. Also, the software measures the step and stride length (in cm).

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Age between 40-60 years old.
* Women with BMI ≥30.
* Women are free from any other gynecological disorders or symptoms that may affect the results of the study.
* All participants who will be enrolled in the study sign the informed consent form.
* All participants will be of multiparas.
* All participants will be diagnosed with a mild degree of stress urinary incontinence.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Pregnancy
* Neurological Disorders: such as Parkinson's disease , multiple sclerosis, or any neurological dysfunction that may affect the gait parameters
* Musculoskeletal disorders: such as severe osteoarthritis or lower limb amputations
* Significant cognitive impairment: or dementia
* Previous pelvic surgery as pelvic organ prolapse repair or anti-incontinence procedures.
* Other significant medical conditions that could affect gait include severe cardiovascular disease or severe respiratory conditions.
* Walking pain.
