Pelvic floor muscle training with ultrasound biofeedback
Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) will be given to both groups with transabdominal US. PFMT will be applied by physiotherapists who have received training and supervision from physiotherapists who are experts in the field of pelvic floor US imaging and pelvic floor muscle training with US. Pelvic floor muscle training will be applied with a GE Brand LOGIQ P8 model transabdominal ultrasound (GE HealthCare) US device under the supervision of an expert physiotherapist. Parents and children will be informed about PFMT.
Dynamic neuromuscular stabilization exercise
Dynamic neuromuscular exercises (DNS) involve the joint activation of the intrinsic muscle group of the spine, which includes the cervical flexors and extensors, diaphragm, transversus abdominis, multifidus and pelvic floor, which form the integrated spinal stabilization system. The application principles are joint centering, core stabilization - Integrated spinal stabilization system and stabilization function of the diaphragm. DNS training will be applied in three stages. Preparation for exercises, IAB regulation and application of exercises according to developmental kinesiology positions. Exercises will start with preparatory training. In preparatory training, stroking, brushing and tapping techniques will be taught and self-facilitation will be demonstrated in order to increase proprioceptive input to the lower extremity, upper extremity, trunk and pelvic region. Fascial mobilizations will be performed to the foot and hand regions.
