Summary

Diastasis Rectus Abdominis is quite common during and after pregnancy. Abdominal core strengthening exercises have been proven to be very effective in reducing Inter rectus distance, however, the role of Biofeedback EMG assisted exercises in Diastasis Rectus have been poorly understood.

Conditions

  • Diastasis Recti Abdominis

Interventions

DEVICE

Surface EMG Biofeedback

Surface EMG activity will be recorded from the left and right abdominal muscles while the exercises will be performed in different positions. Electrical signals in the muscle are measured and displayed on the screen and are amplified into sounds that the patient can hear. This feedback increases patient effort and participation and provides the data and documentation required to measure patient outcomes and quantify progress. Electrical activity from Rectus Abdominis muscle, External Oblique muscle and Transversus Abdominis muscle will be recorded with their specific exercises. SEMG Biofeedback protocol of a series of ten second contractions, each contraction preceded by a ten second rest period will be followed. Starting with shorter work/rest periods as needed to build-up to these intervals are acceptable; for example, starting with 3-second contractions and 6-second rest periods, and then gradually increasing the duration of each.
