简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

结局指标
主要结局
Sensory integration test score
时间窗: 6 minutes
'Sensory integration test' will be performed using Biodex Balance System®. Volunteers will stand still on the platform in condition eyes open and closed on the firm and soft (foam) surfaces. The test scores are sway index for each condition and a composite score. Lower scores present better postural stability.
Limits of stability test score
时间窗: 5 minutes
'Limits of Stability Test' will be performed using Biodex Balance System®. Subjects will stand on the platform and try to reach in eight directions spot that shown on the screen. The test results present scores for all eight directions and an overall score. Lower scores show worse performance (0= worst performance; 100= perfect performance)
次要结局
- Respiratory muscle strength(5 minutes)
- Abdominal Muscle Endurance(3 minutes)
- Pelvic floor dysfunction(5 minutes)
