Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Digital nylon calipers for inter recti distance	8th week	Digital nylon calipers for inter recti distance (IRD) used for the evaluatiopn of the DRA using tracing paper can be used preliminary assessment tool as well as a method for documentation of measurements of the inter recti in both males and females above the umbilicus with the abdominal muscles during contraction i.e in hook lying position. Digital Nylon Calipers demonstrated excellent inter-rater (ICC = 0.80 to 0.99) and It is the strongest tool for the assessment of the distasis recti
Numeric pain rating scale	8th week	Numeric pain scale is an objective tool for the assessment of pain, rating from 0 to 10 according to the severity of pain. It is categorized as mild(1to3), moderate (4to6) and severe (7to10). It reliability is ICCs for the test-retest reliability were over 0.75
Manual muscle testing for intra-abdominal strength	8th week	Manual muscle testing (MMT) is the objective assessment tool for the muscular strength measurement having grading of 0 to 5 according to the muscle response to an active resistance applied passively by some external force that can be therapist's hand. The intra-rater (ICC=0.95) and inter-rater (0.99) reliability (20) . 0 3 4 5 None Fair Good Normal No visible or palpable contraction Full ROM against gravity Full ROM against gravity, moderate resistance Full ROM against gravity, maximal resistance
Short form Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory for Urogynaecological symptoms	8th week	Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory (PFDI-20) is a reliable instrument for evaluating the quality of life in women with pelvic dysfunction. They have been translated and validated in many languages. The study was aimed at validating the Estonian translations of the PFDI-20 and PFIQ-7 tools. Intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) 0.765-0.969, p \< 0.001
