The postpartum period is excessively weak and have hypotonic abdominal muscles, making the ligaments and connective tissue softer and more elastic. The importance of exercise in the postpartum period is very important in this regard. This study will be a Randomized control trial used to compare the effects of diaphragmatic breathing with and without abdominal muscles strength training program on pelvic floor strength and endurance and quality of life in postnatal women. Subjects meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be divided into two groups using lottery method. Assessment will be done using PERFECT scheme questionnaire and SF- 36 quality of life questionnaire. Subjects in one group will receive diaphragmatic breathing exercises along with pelvic muscle strength training and subjects in other group will receive only diaphragmatic breathing exercises. Each subject will receive 12 treatment sessions for 4 weeks. Results will be analyzed for any change by using SPSS25.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | PERFECT scheme questionnaire | The term PERFECT stands for power (or pressure), endurance (E), repetitions (R), rapid contractions (F), and lastly, every contraction timed (ECT). The Pelvic Floor Muscle Assessment Scheme was created to streamline and explain the process. This program may provide suggestions for developing patient-specific exercise plans that correspond to the principles of muscle training." | 4 Weeks | |
Primary | SF-36 quality of life questionnaire | Physical functioning (PF), role physical (RP), bodily pain (BP), general health (GH), vitality (VT), social functioning (SF), role emotional (RE), and mental health (MH) are the eight scales that the SF-36 measures. Different amounts from each scale do go into the scoring of the PCS and MCS measures. | 4 Weeks |
