The Neurotrac® Simplex device will be used for EMG-Biofeedback treatment. As in the muscle strength assessment procedure, the EMG reference electrode will be placed on the patient\'s forearm, and 2 adhesive electrodes in the EMG channel will be placed on the patient\'s perineal muscles. The patient will be asked to contract and relax the pelvic floor muscles at certain intervals in accordance with the visual and auditory stimuli made on the device screen or computer screen. The pelvic floor muscle contraction and rest period will last 5 seconds each. The program will continue for 2 days a week, 25 minutes per session and 8 weeks and will be performed in a clinical environment. During the treatment, the treatment will be visualized for the patient with different imagery. At the end of the games played, the patients'; scores (%), the lowest and highest EMG values will be recorded in mV. The treatment will be applied to the patients in two sessions per week.

The program will be performed in a clinical environment for 8 weeks, 2 days a week, each session will be 30 minutes. The correct breathing pattern will be taught to the patient before starting the exercises. O2 saturation and maximum heart rate will be checked during the rest periods during the exercises. The maximum heart rate will be calculated with the formula (HRmax = 208 - 0.7 × age), and the exercise will be paused when it exceeds 80%. The patient will be asked to contract the pelvic floor muscles during the exercise. Necessary warnings regarding the preservation of posture will be made throughout the exercises. The exercise intensity will be increased progressively in order to ensure the patient's adaptation to the exercises.

Home Exercise Program In addition to EMG-Biofeedback Therapy in Group 1, in addition to Rebound Therapy in Group 2, and in Group 3, only a home exercise program will be applied to patients 5 days a week. The exercise program consists of diaphragmatic breathing, piriformis stretching exercise, adductor stretching exercise, gluteal stretching exercise, cat-camel exercise, happy baby position, deep squat exercise, trunk rotator stretching exercises. Each exercise will be repeated 5 times on the right and left, and 20 seconds will be waited for each repetition.
