简要总结
Participants will be randomly divided into three groups as core stabilization group, combination of core stabilization and corset group and only corset group.
详细描述
30 volunteer women who were diagnosed with diastasis recti abdominis by an obstetrician in Çamlıca Medipol Hospital, aged between 18-35 and met the inclusion criteria will be included in the study. Participants will be randomly divided into three groups. Participants in the first group will do core stabilization exercises for the transversus abdominis muscle 3 days a week for 8 weeks with 10 repetitions. In the second group, in addition to the first group, core stabilization exercises will be performed by wearing an abdominal corset. Participants included in the third group will be asked to wear only this corset all day (except for the bathroom) for 8 weeks. Anthropometric measurements, ultrasonographic evaluation, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, abdominal muscle strength and endurance, Oswestry Disability Index will be evaluated as pretest and posttest.

结局指标
主要结局
Ultrasanografic measurement
时间窗: 5 minutes
The distance between the rectus muscles will be measured by the obstetrician with ultrasound.
Oswestry Disability Index for assesment of pain and quality of life
时间窗: 5 minutes
It is a questionnaire evaluating individuals' participation in activities of daily living due to low back pain.
Abdominal muscle strength measurement
时间窗: 5 minutes
The abdominal muscle strength of the participants will be graded from 0 to 5 using manual muscle testing.
Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale
时间窗: 5 minutes
The scale is used to determine the risk of depression in the postpartum period and to measure the change in level and severity. Minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 30. Cut-off score of 13 is used to distinguish depressed from nondepressed women. High scores means worse outcomes.
Abdominal muscle undurance measurement
时间窗: 5 minutes
n the measurement of muscle endurance, the participants will be asked to stand as long as they can in their position during the muscle strength measurement.
Visual Analogue Scale for pain assessment
时间窗: 3 minutes
The line has a value of 0 at the beginning and a value of 10 at the end. The patient is asked to indicate the intensity of the pain at rest or during activity. A value of 0 means no pain, a value of 10 means excruciating pain.
次要结局
- Weight measurement(2 minutes)
- Height measurement(2 minutes)
