Filter by:The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of Pilates exercises on diastasis recti abdominis in postpartum women.
This study is aimed to determine the effects of Abdominal Hypopressive exercises on IRD, Lumbopelvic pain, Body Image and abdominal muscle function in postpartum women.
Diastasis recti is an increase in the gap between the rectus abdominis muscles at the midline caused by anterior abdominal wall weakening. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of abdominal exercises with and without Kinesio taping on abdominal strength of females with diastasis recti for their better quality of life. This study will be randomized controlled trial .Subjects with diastasis recti meeting the predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria will be requested to participate in the study via informed consent. Non probability convenient sampling technique will be used. 46 participants will be randomly allocated to either Group A or Group B .Group A will be treated with Kinesio Taping applied in a criss -cross design for consecutive 3 days with 1 day gap after taping will do abdominal exercises.Group B will be treated with above mentioned abdominal exercises for 1 month. Pre and post assessment of diastasis recti and abdominal strength will be done using caliper method and manual muscle test and quality of life will be assessed by MAPP-QOL questionnaire.Jinnah Hospital will be the setting and SPSS software will be used.
The aim of this study was to compare participants with increased symptoms after index pregnancy with those reporting no change in back pain or subjective movement control and analyzed their inter rectus distance (IRD). This study is a case-control study of a cohort of women who had delivered a year earlier. We recruited participants with increased symptoms (n=14) after index pregnancy and controls (n=41) and recorded their inter rectus distance with ultrasound. A questionnaire was filled, and an ultrasound was performed two times for the study groups.
Participants will be randomly divided into three groups as core stabilization group, combination of core stabilization and corset group and only corset group.
Diastasis rectus is the separation of the muscles along the midline of the abdomen, typically as seen in women after pregnancy. Separation is mostly larger than 2cm width at above, below or level of umbilicus. With this muscular pathology women do not feel any pain symptom just perceiving symptoms of physical discomfort, abdomen muscle weakness and its bulging. Excess weight of mother or baby and multiple birth pregnancy is the common risk factor for the DRA. Various tools will be used for the diagnosis of DRA such as vernier caliper by using centimeter ruler, diagnostic ultrasonography that give the exact measurement, pressure biofeedback unit which is used to assess the strength of weak muscles, and patient specific functional scale that used to determine the functional limitation and its improvement. To treat the DRA conservatively, Tupler's technique and conventional physical therapy will be directed. Electrical muscular stimulations will also be given as a baseline before applying both treatments. In Tupler's technique, diastasis rehab splint and Tupler's exercises will be used whereas in conservative physical therapy, scarf tie around abdomen while performing exercises, Respiratory rehabilitation manoeuvre and abdominal muscle exercises will be used. The aim of the study is to find the the effects of Tupler's technique and conventional physical therapy treatment for abdominal muscle strength regaining and in reducing the diastasis recti among females with diastasis recti after their postpartum period. It is a Randomized clinical trial and convenient random sampling is to be used with an inclusion criterion of patients having age between 20-40 years, Both primiparous and multiparous women and Diastasis recti more than 2.5cm within 6 weeks or more postpartum. Patients will be randomly allocated into two groups, Group A will receive Tupler's technique and Group B will receive conventional physical therapy intervention. Total duration of study will be six months. Assessment will be done before and after the treatment. Pressure biofeedback unit, vernier caliper, ultrasound and patient specific functional scale are to be used to measure the outcomes. Data will be assessed by using parametric/non parametric test after completion of study.
Purpose: The purpose of the proposed study is to examine the ability of diastasis recti abdominis to predict outcomes of Sacroiliac joint dysfunction and pelvic floor dysfunction. - Sample: The study will use a purposive sampling to select 120 subjects, ages 18-45, in the postpartum period between 12 weeks and 48 weeks. All subjects should have resided in the UAE minimum of 6 months prior to taking part in the study. Data analysis: - The age range of the subjects as well as the mean age with standard deviation will be determined. - Data will be analyzed using Multivariate Linear Regression Analysis for the primary research question. - For the Ssecondary research questions will include difference in DRA will be analyzed byas below: - SIJ Dysfunction (logistic regression-Odds ratio) - PFDI (Low, Moderate, High) (ANOVA/Kruskal Wallace Wallis Test) - Pelvic Fascia excursion (Low, Moderate, High). (ANOVA/Kruskal Wallace Wallis Test)
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of inter-rectus distance on postural stability, pelvic floor dysfunction and respiratory muscle strength in women with diastasis recti abdominis.
Prevalence rates of diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) among postpartum women vary between 30% - 68%. It has been postulated that DRA, in addition to being a cosmetic concern for many women, may reduce low- back and pelvic stability causing low back- and pelvic girdle pain and be related to pelvic floor dysfunctions such as urinary incontinence, anal incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Given the limited research data, there is currently no consensus on which abdominal exercises to recommend to narrow the diastasis. The purpose of this assessor blinded parallel group randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate the effect of abdominal muscle training on inter-recti distance (IRD) and prevalence of DRA.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Abdominal EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) on AWR (Abdominal Wall Restoration) in Post - Partum Women
