Telerehabilitation were given to the participants which included Kegel’s exercises, progressive core muscle exercises breathing exercises and relaxation for 30 minutes every day for 3 months. Pre and post rehabilitation outcome measures were assessed to evaluate the effectiveness of tele rehabilitation.

The secondary outcome was the pelvic floor strengthening which was measured using oxford grading scale. Result: Improvement was noted with a significant decrease in urinary incontinence episodes and increase in pelvic floor muscle strength to a large extent after a 3-month period of telerehabilitation. Conclusion: Telerehabilitation was found to be effective in reducing the urinary incontinence in postpartum females.
