This study evaluates the bladder base displacements during abdominal and pelvic floor exercises in postpartum women comparing to nulliparous women
Full description
Postpartum women are at increased risk of suffering pelvic floor dysfunctions. However, only a few researches are focused on the exercises physiological effect at the postpartum recovery period.
A prospective observational study was designed to evaluate the protective or the prolapsed effect of abdominal and pelvic floor exercises in postpartum women.
Two groups were established: Group A was composed of primiparous women during postpartum period and group B of nulliparous women. Both groups practiced the same set of 6 abdominal and perineum exercises. The bladder descent was registered by ultrasonography, and the correct execution was controlled in both groups by superficial pelvic floor and abdominal electromyography.
A Graphical User Interface on MATLAB software has been developed for aiding in offline measurement process.
