Effects of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training and Diaphragmatic Breathing Exercise on Body Posture

Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi36 enrolled

Overview

This study; It will be done in order to show evidence of the effects of pelvic floor muscle training and diaphragmatic breathing exercise via telerehabilitation on body posture and quality of life in healthy individuals. International Physical Activity Quastionnaire Short Form (IPAQ), Pelvic Floor Impact Quastionnaire Short Form (PFIQ-7), 36-Item Short Form Survey(SF-36) and New York Posture Rating Chart will be applied.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Assessment of Quality of Life

36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36). On the scale, higher scores mean a better outcome. The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight.

Time frame: baseline

Assessment of Body Posture

New York Posture Rating Chart. On the scale, each body segment was scored 5 (correct posture), 3 (slight deviation), or 1 (pronounced deviation). The scores of the body alignment segments are summed, allowing a range of overall score between 13 and 65. Higher scores mean a better outcome.

Time frame: baseline

Secondary Outcomes

Assessment of Physical Activity Level

International Physical Activity Questionnaire-short form (IPAQ-SF) The questionnaire records the activity of four intensity levels: 1) vigorous-intensity activity such as aerobics, 2) moderate-intensity activity such as leisure cycling, 3) walking, and 4) sitting.

Time frame: baseline

Assessment of Pelvic Floor Muscle Function

Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ). The PFIQ 7 has 7 questions and each question has 3 separate responses. The response to each item of satisfaction, impact and worry was rated from 3 (quite a bit) to 0 (not at all) for the PFIQ-7. The mean value for all the answered items within the corresponding scale (possible value 0-3) was estimated, then multiplied by (100/3) to obtain the scale score, range 0-100. We added the scores from the 3 scales together to obtain the PFIQ 7 summary score (range 0-300).For the scale, a higher score indicates worse health status.
