Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical effect of core muscle motor control training on postpartum diastasis recti abdominis. MethodsFrom January, 2021 to January, 2022, 30 outpatients with postpartum diastasis recti abdominis were randomly divided into control group (n = 15) and experimental group (n = 15). Manipulative therapy and breathing training were performed simultaneously in both groups. Besides, the control group received conventional core strength training, and the experimental group received core muscle motor control training, for four weeks. Their distance of diastasis recti abdominis, abdominal circumference and waist circumference were compared before and after treatment. ResultsAfter treatment, the distance of diastasis recti abdominis, abdominal circumference and waist circumference reduced in both groups (Z = 3.408, t > 5.927, P < 0.05). The reduction value of diastasis recti abdominis distance was more in the experimental group than in the control group (t = 2.328, P < 0.05). ConclusionCore muscle motor control training can effectively relieve postpartum diastasis recti abdominis, and the effect is better than conventional core strength training.
