Abstract

Background: Menopause is a normal physiological process among aging women. Estrogen deficiency results in permanent cessation of menses identified as menopause. 1.5 million women every year experience menopause which involves troublesome symptoms. The pelvic floor weakness can be due to damage or increased risk of many factors such as pregnancy, childbirth, aging, menopause, etc.


Methodology: A total of 30 subjects within the age group of 45 and above were screened and assessed as per the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Group A subjects were assigned to Fire hydrants with mountain climbers exercise and Group B subjects to Quadruped cross crawl exercise.


Results: Based on the results of the test analysis at a 5% significance level, there is a significant statistically reliable difference between the pre and post-treatment values with a p-value is less than the 5% significance level (i.e., 0.001<0.05) in the study and therefore it justifies the improvements in health outcome post-intervention.


Conclusion: The present study concluded that there was an improvement in pelvic floor muscle strength of post-menopausal women age group (45 and above) when treated with Group A and Group B. The study also concluded that Group A showed more significant improvement in pelvic floor muscle strengthening as compared to Group B in outcome measure Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory 20 (PFDI-20) and King’s Health Questionnaire (KHQ).
