简要总结
Diastasis Rectus Abdominis is quite common during and after pregnancy. Abdominal core strengthening exercises have been proven to be very effective in reducing Inter rectus distance, however, the role of Biofeedback EMG assisted exercises in Diastasis Rectus have been poorly understood.
详细描述
This study is a Randomized Control Trial in which posr-partum females with diastasis recti will be recruited into a control and two experimental groups. In control group, patients will receive standard conservative treatment, whereas, in first experimental group, participants will receive core strengthening exercises with kinesiotaping; and in second experimental group, core strengthening exercises with kinesiotaping will be assisted by SEMG biofeedback. Patients will be evaluated pre and post-treatment for Inter rectus distance, abdominal strength and quality of life.

结局指标
主要结局
Inter Rectus Distance between rectus abdominis muscles.
时间窗: 6 weeks
We will measure the inter rectus distance by mechanical dial vernier caliper. It normally ranges between1 to 2cm at rest. Measurement of more than 2cm will confirm presence of diastasis rectus abdominis. IRD will be measured by instructing the patient to lie in hook line position, arms down by the side, with one pillow placed beneath the head. The examiner will palpate the medial and lateral borders of the right and left rectus abdominis muscle bellies at the marked locations of 2 cm above, below and at umbilicus levels.
次要结局
- Abdominal Strength and core stability will be assessed by Mc Gill torso muscular endurance test battery.(6 weeks)
- Quality of life will be measured by SF-36(6 weeks)
