Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) are complex conditions affecting women's quality of life, including issues like pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, and pelvic pain. These disorders are prevalent, with 2.6-28.7% of women experiencing urinary incontinence and 20-50% suffering from pelvic organ prolapse. Accurate diagnosis requires a comprehensive understanding of pelvic musculoskeletal components and the interaction of multiple body systems.

Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activity can be elevated in various conditions, including muscle diseases, burns, and after strenuous exercise. During childbirth, increased serum CPK levels have been observed, attributed to enzyme release from the uterus and placenta. CPK levels typically return to normal within six weeks postpartum.

To date, no study has explored the correlation between CPK levels and pelvic floor muscle strength in postnatal women. This research aims to fill this knowledge gap, potentially benefiting medical services and expanding understanding in women's health physical therapy.
