简要总结
A three-arm parallel-group randomized controlled trial was conducted with 90 women aged 23-42 years, 6-8 weeks postpartum. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: no kinesiotaping (control), placebo kinesiotaping (no tension), and kinesiotaping with 50% tension. All participants followed the same exercise program. The primary outcome measure was the Diastasis Recti Index (DRI), assessed via ultrasound at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks.
详细描述
This was a three-arm, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial with concealed allocation. The allocation of subjects to the experiment was arranged chronologically. Each woman meeting the inclusion criteria was consecutively qualified. None of the participants were aware of group allocations or the interventions used in each group according to CONSORT's diagram. Each subject was given the same exercises (instructor-led) and tested individually to maintain study blinding.
The clinical rationale for reducing DRA using Kinesio taping was evaluated in 90 females in the late postpartum period, defined as 6 - 8 weeks after childbirth.
The eligibility criteria for the study were:
- aged between 25 and 45 years
- first singleton pregnancy
- natural childbirth
- no medical contraindications for exercising and taping.
The exclusion criteria were:

结局指标
主要结局
Diastasis Recti Index (DRI)
时间窗: The effectiveness of Kinesio taping was assessed based on intergroup differences in the initial measurement values (DRI1) taken before the start of the project, the second measurement after 4 weeks (DRI2), and the third measurement after 8 weeks (DRI3).
outcome: Diastasis Recti Index (DRI) was computed in order to normalize the ultrasound examination results. The DRA width was divided by waist circumference and multiplied by 100% to determine the changes in diastasis width at the navel line (DRIn), above the navel (DRIan), and under the navel (DRIun): DRI \[%\]=DRAw\[cm\]/(waist circumference \[cm\] )\*100% where * DRAw is the diastasis recti abdominis width at a given measurement line: at the navel, above the navel, and under the navel (respectively) * waist circumference was measured at the navel line in a given session.
