简要总结
Pelvic Floor Weakness is very common Facing by women during Pregnancy. PFM weakness is recognized as one of the problems encountered in patients with urinary and fecal incontinence which have very negative impact on Quality of life of Patients. This project aims to design, implement, and validate a pelvic floor rehabilitation protocol specifically for pregnant individuals.
详细描述
The review of existing literature undergoes the critical need for a pregnancy-specific pelvic floor rehab protocol to address the unique physiological and functional changes experienced during and after pregnancy. While current pelvic floor rehab approaches provide valuable insights, they often lack specific adaptations for the pregnant population, In First Phase of Study the protocol will be developed .The protocol will focus on preventing and managing pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD), such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and pelvic pain, which are common during pregnancy. The program will incorporate evidence-based exercises, education, and lifestyle modifications, ensuring it is safe, effective, and adaptable to pregnancy.
In Second Phase it will be validated and Pilot testing will be done.

结局指标
主要结局
Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI)
时间窗: Baseline to 4th Week
The PFDI-20 questionnaire is designed to evaluate symptoms and quality of life relating to PFDs; it has 20 items and three scales for three different symptoms to assess symptoms of distress from UI (Urinary Distress Inventory-6), POP (Pelvic Organ Prolapse Distress Inventory-6), and defecatory dysfunction (Colo rectal-Anal Distress Inventory-8). By adding three subscales the score ranges from 0-300. The higher the score the greater the perceived impact that pelvic floor dysfunction has on a patient's life.
Pelvic Floor Muscle Strength Assessment through MMT-oxford scale
时间窗: Baseline to 4th Week
The grading system used to determine the strength of the pelvic floor muscles is the Oxford Scale or Modified Oxford Scale. It is a subjective grading system used to assess the strength and quality of contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. The muscles will be assessed via an external vaginal examination. Score Ranges from 0-5 . higher score indicate better muscle strength.
Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFQI)
时间窗: Baseline to 4th Week
The pelvic floor impact questionnaire was designed to evaluate symptoms and quality of life relating to PFDs; it included scales from the Urinary Impact Questionnaire. (UIQ-7), Pelvic Organ Prolapse Impact Questionnaire (POPIQ), Colorectal - Anal Impact Questionnaire -7(CRAIQ-7). All items use the following format with the response scale ranging from (0 to 3). Add the scores from the 3 scales together to obtain the summary score (range 0-300). Lower scores indicate less effect on QOL.
