简要总结
his study aims to evaluate the effect of an exercise program in postpartum women with diastasis recti, defined as an inter-rectus distance greater than 2 cm at any of three ultrasound measurement points . Participants will be divided into two groups: an intervention group that will follow a 6-week exercise program and a control group that will receive usual care.
Ultrasound assessment of the linea alba will be performed before the intervention and after 6 weeks. The main outcomes will be inter-rectus distance and the stiffness of the linea alba measured using shear wave elastography, along with obstetric and personal clinical variables. Participants will be recruited from primary care centers in the Community of Madrid through midwives during postpartum consultations.
详细描述
In this study, the effect of an exercise program on postpartum women with diastasis will be evaluated. Diastasis will be defined as an inter-rectus distance greater than 2 cm at any of the points assessed by ultrasound (5 cm above the navel, at the level of the navel, and 2 cm below the navel).
Participants will be divided into two groups: one group will receive an exercise program for 6 weeks, while the other group will serve as the control group, receiving usual care. An ultrasound assessment of the linea alba will be performed before the start of the study and after 6 weeks.
The main variables evaluated will be inter-rectus distance and the stiffness of the linea alba measured by shear wave elastography, in addition to obstetric and personal variables obtained from the medical history. Participants will be recruited from primary care centers in the Community of Madrid through midwives during postpartum consultations.
