简要总结
Diastasis recti is an increased distance between the rectus abdominis muscles at the midline caused by weakness in the anterior abdominal wall.
详细描述
Most healthcare providers agree that in diastasis rectus abdominis there is a weakness, thinning, and widening of the linea alba and weakness of the associated abdominal musculature.
Ultrasonography is regarded as the most accurate method for measuring the IRD and its results are consistent with the data derived from palpation, calipers, and intraoperative measurements.
The MyotonPRO Device is used for the non-invasive measurement of Device is for the non-invasive measurement of biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of superficial soft biological tissues. Skeletal muscles or tendons can be measured at different regions, at full rest or in contraction.
This study aims to assess the biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of the Linea Alba in patients who are diagnosed with diastasis rectus abdominis by ultrasonography.
