Brief Summary

This study; It will be done in order to show evidence of the effects of pelvic floor muscle training and diaphragmatic breathing exercise via telerehabilitation on body posture and quality of life in healthy individuals. International Physical Activity Quastionnaire Short Form (IPAQ), Pelvic Floor Impact Quastionnaire Short Form (PFIQ-7), 36-Item Short Form Survey(SF-36) and New York Posture Rating Chart will be applied.

Conditions

Telerehabilitation; Body Posture; Pelvic Floor Muscle Training; Diaphragmatic Breathing; Quality of Life

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Assessment of Quality of Life

  36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36). On the scale, higher scores mean a better outcome. The SF-36 consists of eight scaled scores, which are the weighted sums of the questions in their section. Each scale is directly transformed into a 0-100 scale on the assumption that each question carries equal weight.

  baseline

• Assessment of Body Posture

  New York Posture Rating Chart. On the scale, each body segment was scored 5 (correct posture), 3 (slight deviation), or 1 (pronounced deviation). The scores of the body alignment segments are summed, allowing a range of overall score between 13 and 65. Higher scores mean a better outcome.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Assessment of Physical Activity Level

• Assessment of Pelvic Floor Muscle Function

Study Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Pelvic floor muscle exercises and diaphragmatic breathing exercises will be performed 3 times a week for 12 weeks. New York Posture Rating Scale and SF-36 will be applied before and after the study. International Physical Activity Questionnaire and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire will be applied before the study.

Other: exercises

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

No intervention. New York Posture Rating Scale and SF-36 will be applied before and after the study. International Physical Activity Questionnaire and Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire will be applied before the study.
