Weakness or impairment of the pelvic floor muscles can lead to symptoms such as urinary incontinence, pelvic discomfort, and reduced quality of life. Rehabilitation exercises targeting pelvic floor muscles are widely used to restore muscle strength and improve functional outcomes.\n\nThe purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a structured Rehabilitation Exercise Protocol (5R) with Swiss ball training in improving pelvic floor muscle function among postpartum women diagnosed with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. The 5R protocol focuses on progressive rehabilitation strategies including relaxation, recruitment, resistance, repetition, and recovery of pelvic floor muscles. Swiss ball training involves exercises performed on a stability ball that aim to enhance core stability, pelvic control, and muscular coordination.\n\nEligible postpartum women with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will receive the structured 5R rehabilitation exercise protocol, while the other group will participate in Swiss ball training exercises. Both interventions will be performed for a specified duration under the supervision of trained physiotherapists.\n\nOutcome measures will assess pelvic floor muscle strength, functional improvement, and symptom severity before and after the intervention period. The findings of this study may help determine the most effective rehabilitation strategy for improving pelvic floor muscle function and promoting recovery in postpartum women.",[27],"Pelvic Floor Muscle Dysfunction",[29,30,31,32],"Postpartum Rehabilitation","Pelvic Floor Muscle Training","Swiss Ball Training","5R Rehabilitation Protocol","RECRUITING","2026-03-12",{"date":36,"type":37},"2026-03-17","ACTUAL",{"date":39,"type":21},"2026-03-23",{"date":41,"type":21},"2026-04-25",{"name":43,"class":44},"Rafia Abrar","OTHER",""]
