|---|---|

Eksperimentel: Telerehabilitation Group
Participants allocated to this arm will receive a hybrid telerehabilitation-based core stability exercise program over 8 weeks.
Baseline assessment will be conducted in a clinical setting prior to intervention.
The program consists of three sessions per week (45-60 minutes each) on non-consecutive days, including warm-up, structured core stability exercises, and cool-down.
|
Participants were assessed at baseline by a physiotherapist and attended supervised in-clinic follow-up sessions every two weeks to monitor progress and ensure correct exercise performance.
Individualized exercise demonstrations were recorded on participants' mobile devices to facilitate home-based practice.
The intervention consisted of an 8-week progressive postpartum exercise program beginning at 6 weeks postpartum, including pelvic floor muscle (Kegel) exercises, abdominal bracing, trtransversus abdominis (TrA) activation, and pelvic tilts.
Exercise dosage (sets, repetitions, hold time, and fast contractions) was progressively increased each week according to the study protocol to improve pelvic floor muscle strength, core stability, and lumbopelvic control.

Aktiv komparator: In-Person Exercise Group
Participants allocated to the in-person comparator arm will receive a supervised, clinic-based core stability exercise program for 8 weeks.
Baseline assessment will be conducted prior to initiation in a clinical setting.
|
Participants were assessed at baseline by a physiotherapist and participated in supervised in-person group exercise sessions for 8 weeks, beginning at 6 weeks postpartum.
The intervention followed the same progressive exercise protocol as the telerehabilitation group and included pelvic floor muscle (Kegel) exercises, abdominal bracing, transversus abdominis (TrA) activation, and pelvic tilts, with weekly progression in sets, repetitions, hold duration, and fast contractions.
The physiotherapist provided real-time supervision, exercise correction, and progression throughout the intervention.

Tidsramme |
|---|---|---|
|
Digital Nylon Caliper
Tidsramme: Baseline (pre-Intervention) Post-Intervention (after 8 weeks)
|
Digital nylon calipers are recognized as both reliable and valid for measuring inter-recti distance (IRD), Measurements of inter recti distance will be taken at the umbilicus and at standardized points 4.5 cm above and 4.5cm below umbilicus.

Baseline (pre-Intervention) Post-Intervention (after 8 weeks)

Body Image Scale (BISS)
Tidsramme: Baseline Post-Intervention (after 8 weeks)
|
The Body Image State Scale (15) is a validated, self-reported tool for assessing body image, satisfaction, and emotional responses.
BISS scoring uses the mean of the six items (each scored 1-9) with certain items reverse-scored (items 2, 4, and 6), and higher totals signal higher body satisfaction.
The scale is tested for reliability and validity in various populations, including postpartum women, with Cronbach's alpha generally reported around 0.82-0.83
for internal consistency.
