Title : Efficacy of postpartum rehabilitation exercise program(5R system) using visual feedback in RUSI

Abstract:

Most women experience musculoskeletal problem, such as diastasis recti, after childbirth. Research has shown that postpartum exercise can aid recovery, reduce depression, and support weight loss, though pregnancy-related injuries may restrict movement. In our study, we implemented a six-week exercise program for women who had natural childbirth, comparing the 5R System to aerobic exercises. The 5R System is a four-stage rehabilitation program with components: Recovery Deformity with RUSI, Recovery Posture, Recovery Movement, and Recovery Conditioning. This study aims to propose targeted exercise programs for postpartum women.

Audience Take Away:

Explain how the audience will be able to use what they learn?

  • The audience will learn how to apply visual feedback exercises using RUSI to address diastasis recti in postpartum women. They will also be able to compare the effectiveness of a program that combines strength and aerobic exercises with one that includes only aerobic exercises.

How will this help the audience in their job?

  • This knowledge will enable physical therapists and all professionals in the rehabilitation field to provide appropriate exercise interventions for women after childbirth.

List all other benefits.

  • Rehabilitation exercises after childbirth are necessary for most women, regardless of the presence of any specific conditions. Understanding the overall recovery process postpartum is essential to implementing a phased approach to postnatal exercise. Our study takes this into account by dividing the recovery process into four stages, with tailored exercises for each stage. We believe that our results can be applied to the general rehabilitation process after childbirth.
