Background: Diastasis recti (DR) is the separation of the abdominis rectus muscles in the central region, along with the white linea, in postpartum women. Less attention given towards the management of DR results in further complications such as urinary incontinence, descending reproductive organs, both umbilical and abdominal hernias, low back pain, and pelvic pain. Purpose: The aim of the study is to find the effectiveness of abdominal hypopressive techniques on diastasis recti in postpartum women. Materials and Methods: A total of 44 participants were recruited from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, SMCH and randomly assigned into 2 groups- Hypopressive exercise group (n = 22) with the mean age of 27.22 ± 1.71 years and conventional abdominal exercise group (n = 22) in with mean age of 26.36 ± 2.25 years. The Digital Vernier caliper and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) version 2.0 were used as outcome measures to assess the inter recti distance and low back pain at baseline and after 8 weeks. Both therapies were administered 3 times a week for eight weeks. Results: At the end of the treatment session, both groups showed significant improvement in inter recti distance and pain, but the participants who underwent hypopressive exercises had statistically (p < 0.05) better results. Conclusion: The study shows that hypopressive exercises can be utilized to treat individuals with diastasis recti in postpartum women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
