Summary
This study compares two exercise programs—a structured 5R rehabilitation protocol and Swiss ball training—for women with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction after childbirth. Eighty-eight postpartum women will be randomly assigned to one of the programs, and researchers will measure improvements in muscle strength and symptoms. The goal is to identify the most effective rehabilitation strategy to help new mothers recover.
