Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Detailed Description

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

Diastasis of recti abdominis muscles (DRAM) is defined as a separation of the two rectus abdominis muscles along the linea alba. Increased volume in the abdominal cavity, hormonal changes during pregnancy, neurodevelopmental differences, or abdominal wall laxity may caused. It is very common during pregnancy and may continue for eight weeks in postnatal period. The loss of abdominal wall stability and weakened pelvic floor muscles may occur with DRAM. The abdominal wall is one of the key point for body posture, trunk and pelvic stability. However, in our best knowledge, there is no study in the literature that evaluates women with and without DRA in terms of components related to postural control systems.
