Summary

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of supervised and unsupervised telerehabilitation exercise program on inter-rectus distance, abdominal endurance, pelvic floor dysfunction and body image perception in women with diastasis recti abdominis.

Detailed description

Rectus abdominis diastasis is defined as the separation of the two rectus abdominis muscles along the linea alba, disrupting the structure of the linea alba. It can be caused by increased volume in the abdominal cavity, hormonal changes during pregnancy, neurodevelopmental differences or abdominal wall laxity. It is very common during pregnancy and can persist in the postpartum period. Loss of abdominal wall stability and weakening of the pelvic floor muscles can occur with DRA. can cause various problems in women. Core stability exercises, pelvic floor training and trunk muscle training are some of the exercise regimen options for the management of DRA. However, to our knowledge, studies on telerehabilitation are insufficient in the literature.

Conditions

• Diastasis Recti Abdominis
• Diastasis Recti And Weakness Of The Linea Alba

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Supervised group	A progressive core stability exercise program based on motor control principles will be applied on an online platform through videos under the control of a physiotherapist.
OTHER	Non-Supervised group	A core stability exercise program with detailed exercise videos will be implemented at home.
