Function Recovery

In order to explore the effect of exercise nursing intervention for pelvic floor muscle function recovery at 42 days postpartum, this paper conducts experimental research through controlled experiments, combines statistical methods to carry out digital processing, and sets a single variable of nursing intervention to provide a basis for experimental control, and statistical test results are used for effect evaluation. It has been discovered via experimental study that pelvic floor muscle function recovery exercise training for normal delivery women may enhance the mother’s compliance with the pelvic floor muscle function exercise. Moreover, it can reduce the occurrence of urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse, improve the postpartum pelvic floor function of postpartum women, improve the quality of life, and have a significant recovery effect. In addition, it is a simple, noninvasive, and highly safe continuation nursing measure, which can effectively improve the quality of obstetric care and has strong clinical use value.

Purpose: Postoperative physiotherapy in conjunction with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) surgery is still under-investigated and controversial. In this randomized controlled trial, pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) and abdominal training were compared with a control condition (standard in-hospital treatment). Method: Eighty-one women were randomized to one of three groups. The Prolapse Quality of Life questionnaire, two-dimensional ultrasound, Pelvic Organ Prolapse Quantification System scale, the PERFECT (power, endurance, repetitions, fast contractions, every contraction timed) scheme, electromyography, Sahrmann scale, and pressure biofeedback unit (PBU) were used to measure quality of life (QOL), POP, and pelvic floor and abdominal muscle function. A mixed-model analysis of variance and the Kruskal–Wallis test was used for analysis. Results: Beneficial effects ( p < 0.05) were found for the PFMT group – increased power, number of fast contractions, amount of movement, endurance, and Sahrmann and PBU measures – compared with the control group. Abdominal training led to a significant ( p < 0.05) increase in bulging and discomfort, number of pelvic floor muscle contractions, and Sahrmann and PBU measures compared with the control condition; both groups showed significantly increased urinary frequency ( p < 0.05). Conclusions: Postoperative physiotherapy did not have a beneficial effect on QOL or POP symptoms. PFMT and abdominal training had beneficial effects on pelvic floor muscle function and abdominal muscle measures. Additional abdominal training led to increased symptoms.
