Comparative Effects of Hypopressive and Transverses Abdominis Focused Core Training on Urinary Incontinence, Pelvic Floor Function and Quality of Life in Postpartum

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the effects of two different core training methods on urinary incontinence, pelvic floor function, and quality of life in postpartum women. This study focuses on women who have given birth vaginally and experience urinary incontinence. The research aims to understand which training approach better supports recovery and daily well-being after childbirth. Two training programs are being compared: hypopressive training and transverse abdominis focused core training. Both involve supervised exercise sessions lasting 30 to 40 minutes, three times a week, for six weeks. These exercises are designed to activate and strengthen the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles using various postures to improve muscular endurance and foundational strength. Participants will be assessed at the start and after six weeks using questionnaires that measure urinary incontinence severity, pelvic floor function, and the impact on quality of life and daily activities. These tools include the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire, King's Health Questionnaire, and Incontinence Impact Questionnaire. Data will be analyzed to compare the effectiveness of the two training methods in improving participants' symptoms and well-being.
