Physiotherapy Exercise Programme for Pelvic Floor Function in Healthy Young Women
Sponsor: Universidad Miguel Hernandez de Elche
Summary
This study evaluated the effects of a 12-week physiotherapy exercise programme on pelvic floor and abdominopelvic function in healthy young nulliparous women. Participants were randomly allocated to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention included supervised and home-based exercises focused on postural organization, breathing coordination, and lumbopelvic-abdominal muscle control. The control group continued their usual activities without receiving the study intervention. Pelvic floor muscle function, abdominopelvic functional responses, respiratory function, and health-related quality of life were assessed.
