Exercise-Based Sensorimotor Physiotherapy for Postpartum Pelvic Health and Functional Recovery

2026年7月9日 更新者:Özge BAYKAN ÇOPUROĞLU

Effects of a 12-Week Exercise-Based Sensorimotor Physiotherapy Program on Postpartum Pelvic Health and Functional Recovery: A Stratified Randomized Controlled Trial

This study evaluated whether a 12-week exercise-based sensorimotor physiotherapy program could improve pelvic health and functional recovery in postpartum women. Participants were women aged 18-40 years who were between 6 weeks and 6 months after a singleton delivery. They were randomly assigned to either a sensorimotor physiotherapy group or a control group. The physiotherapy group received supervised exercises targeting pelvic floor activation, lumbopelvic motor control, sensory re-education, proprioceptive training, functional stabilization, and biofeedback-assisted training. The control group received standard postpartum education and home advice.

The main outcomes were pelvic motor control and perineal sensory function. Other outcomes included pelvic floor muscle strength, urinary symptoms, pelvic distress, core endurance, postural stability, pain intensity, and health-related quality of life. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, week 6, week 12, and week 24. The study aimed to determine whether structured sensorimotor physiotherapy provides greater benefits than standard postpartum advice and whether recovery patterns differ according to vaginal or cesarean delivery.

详细说明

This was a prospective, single-center, assessor-blinded, stratified, parallel-group randomized controlled trial conducted in postpartum women. The study was designed to evaluate the effects of a structured 12-week exercise-based sensorimotor physiotherapy program on postpartum pelvic health, lumbopelvic motor control, sensory function, and functional recovery.

Eligible postpartum women were stratified according to delivery mode, vaginal delivery or cesarean delivery, and then randomly allocated to either the Sensorimotor Physiotherapy Group or the Control Group. The intervention group received supervised individual physiotherapy sessions twice weekly for 12 weeks, together with a structured home exercise program. The intervention included pelvic floor activation, lumbopelvic motor control training, proprioceptive exercises, sensory re-education, functional stabilization, and surface electromyography-assisted biofeedback. The control group received standard postpartum education and general home advice.

Outcome assessments were performed at baseline, week 6, week 12, and week 24 by blinded assessors. The primary focus was to determine whether the sensorimotor physiotherapy program improved pelvic motor control and perineal sensory function compared with standard postpartum advice. Secondary outcomes were used to evaluate broader functional and patient-reported recovery, including pelvic floor strength, urinary symptoms, pelvic distress, core endurance, postural stability, pain intensity, and health-related quality of life. Delivery mode was examined as an exploratory factor that could influence recovery patterns.

干预/治疗
实验性的:Exercise-Based Sensorimotor Physiotherapy Program
A 12-week physiotherapist-led exercise-based sensorimotor physiotherapy program delivered individually twice weekly for approximately 45 minutes per session. The program included pelvic floor activation, diaphragmatic breathing, lumbopelvic motor control training, abdominal-pelvic floor synergy exercises, proprioceptive stimulation, tactile discrimination tasks, sensory re-education, functional stabilization, task-specific training, and surface electromyography-assisted biofeedback. Participants also completed a structured home exercise program for 15-20 minutes per day, five days per week.

其他:Standard Postpartum Education and Home Advice
A standard postpartum education and home advice program including information on postpartum anatomy, posture correction, bladder care, and general pelvic floor exercises. Participants received a printed home exercise leaflet and two telephone contacts at weeks 4 and 8 to encourage continuation of general advice. No supervised physiotherapy, individualized exercise progression, biofeedback, or structured sensorimotor training was provided.

主要结果指标

结果测量
措施说明
大体时间
Change in Pelvic Motor Control Composite Score
大体时间:Baseline, week 6, week 12, and week 24
Pelvic motor control was assessed using the Pelvic Motor Control Composite Score, an experimental composite index derived from surface electromyography-based parameters including normalized root mean square amplitude, onset latency, relaxation time, and contraction intermittency. Higher scores indicate better lumbopelvic motor control.
Baseline, week 6, week 12, and week 24
Change in Perineal Sensory Function
大体时间:Baseline, week 6, week 12, and week 24
Perineal sensory function was assessed using pressure detection threshold measured with a calibrated handheld algometer and two-point discrimination measured with a precision caliper. Lower values indicate better sensory responsiveness and tactile discrimination.
Baseline, week 6, week 12, and week 24
