Patients will be divided into two groups. One group will receive only a conventional physiotherapy program. The conventional physiotherapy program included breathing and aerobic exercises, energy conservation techniques, and activities of daily living. The exercises were supervised once a week and unsupervised for six days. The program was administered 1 x 7 x 8 hours/day/week.
The experimental group received Body Awareness therapy in addition to the conventional physiotherapy program. The exercise content included relaxation exercises, breathing exercises, floor exercises for trunk and pelvic movements, and extremity movements. Body Awareness Therapy was also administered 1 x 7 x 8 hours/day/week.
