简要总结
Determine if frequency specific microcurrent therapy improves pain management of DRA by 30% or greater.
详细描述
Females aged 18 years or older who are postpartum from a singleton gestation status post vaginal and with diastasis recti will be recruited. The aim of this study is to determine if frequency specific microcurrent therapy improves pain management of DRA by 30% or greater
Improving DRA after microcurrent therapy in post-partum females may allow a faster, more effective return to activity thereby improving the return-to-duty transition and establishing personal readiness by meeting military fitness standards.

结局指标
主要结局
Inter-rectus Distances (IRD)
时间窗: visit 3/week 3
Investigator will apply ultrasound gel and measure Inter-rectus distances (IRD) -- via ultrasound or if unable via ultrasound, via palpation and measuring tape -- taken at 4 locations using the medial margins of both rectus abdominis muscles: A. 2.5 cm above the umbilical ring, B. upper margin of the umbilical ring, C. lower margin of the umbilical ring, and D. 2.5 cm below the umbilical ring. A and D were recorded.
