Exclusion Criteria:
Other: TUPLER exercises
Other: SCOOP EXERCISES
will be conducting tupler exercises, exercises that are designed to target core muscles in order to improve posture, regain core strength and reducing discomfort. Each exercise will be repeated 10reps for 3 times on 3 days a week for 8 weeks.
will be required to complete scoop exercises basically deals with Pilates which is deep core and hip strengthening and stability through breathing patterns with the utilization of transversus abdominis muscle majorly. In each exercise participant will be asked to hold pelvic floor muscles for 8sec, then relax the muscles and count to 10, repeat I for 10 times each day for 3 days a week for 8weeks. Basic commands about the positing, activation and engagement of core along with breathing control were given to the subjects.
Digital nylon calipers for inter recti distance
Digital nylon calipers for inter recti distance (IRD) used for the evaluatiopn of the DRA using tracing paper can be used preliminary assessment tool as well as a method for documentation of measurements of the inter recti in both males and females above the umbilicus with the abdominal muscles during contraction i.e in hook lying position. Digital Nylon Calipers demonstrated excellent inter-rater (ICC = 0.80 to 0.99) and It is the strongest tool for the assessment of the distasis recti
Time frame: 8th week
Numeric pain rating scale
Numeric pain scale is an objective tool for the assessment of pain, rating from 0 to 10 according to the severity of pain. It is categorized as mild(1to3), moderate (4to6) and severe (7to10). It reliability is ICCs for the test-retest reliability were over 0.75
Time frame: 8th week
Manual muscle testing for intra-abdominal strength
Manual muscle testing (MMT) is the objective assessment tool for the muscular strength measurement having grading of 0 to 5 according to the muscle response to an active resistance applied passively by some external force that can be therapist's hand. The intra-rater (ICC=0.95) and inter-rater (0.99) reliability (20) . 0 3 4 5 None Fair Good Normal No visible or palpable contraction Full ROM against gravity Full ROM against gravity, moderate resistance Full ROM against gravity, maximal resistance
Time frame: 8th week
Short form Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory for Urogynaecological symptoms
Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20) is a reliable instrument for evaluating the quality of life in women with pelvic dysfunction. They have been translated and validated in many languages. The study was aimed at validating the Estonian translations of the PFDI-20 and PFIQ-7 tools. Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) 0.765-0.969, p \< 0.001
