To determine the effectiveness of kegel exercise and prone position on involution of uterus among postnatal mothers in experimental group. To compare the effectiveness of kegel exercise and prone position on involution of uterus among postnatal mothers in experimental and control group. To find an association between pre-test score of involutions of uterus among postnatal mothers with their selected demographic and obstetric variables.
