The Impact of Innovative Technology Strategies on Implementing Exercise Programs Using Fully Immersive Virtual Reality for Postpartum Women

Standard Traditional exercise program: The traditional exercises will include Kegel pelvic floor exercise, dead weight lifts, wide back rows, lunges with rotation, good morning (hip hinge), and lateral side bends. . Pre and post measurement will be taken before and after the session.

Participants in the intervention group will undergo a virtual reality (VR)-based exercise program using Meta Quest 2 head-mounted displays (Meta Platforms Inc., USA) and the Lumbar Pain Rehab software provided by DynamicsVR (Dynamics VR S.L., Cadiz, Spain). The virtual reality (VR) intervention will consist of eight structured sessions designed to address postpartum lumbo-pelvic pain through the immersive, interactive training. Each session incorporating pelvic floor muscle training using VR, consisting of three sets of 12 repetitions, with each contraction and relaxation phase lasting three seconds. In addition, patients engaged in two five-minute blocks of immersive VR activities with a two-minute rest interval, resulting in total session duration of 18 minutes. A familiarization session will be conducted prior to the intervention to acclimate participants to the VR environment. This will include modified pelvic floor training (3 sets of 8 repetitions; 3 seconds of contraction.
