Effects of Kinesiotaping along with abdomen and pelvic floor exercise on diastasis recti abdominis for postpartum women in normal delivery versus LSCS

Abstract

Introduction and Aim: Women are prone to massive stretching on the abdomen at postpartum period. Hence, the need for the study is to determine the prevalence of diastasis recti abdominis at postpartum period. The aim of the study is to increase the abdominal strength among postpartum women with DRAM (Diastasis Recti Abdominis Muscle) by abdominal and pelvic floor exercise along with Kinesiotaping (KT). Methodology: A total of 50 subjects with diastasis recti were selected based on selection criteria, divided into two groups – group A with 25 subjects who have undergone Normal Vaginal Delivery (NVD) and group B with 25 subjects who have undergone Lower Section Caesarian Section (LSCS). The reason for the review was disclosed to the patient and definite concern was acquired, in view of particular testing technique. Pre-tests were done using Vernier calipers, followed with pre-test intervention procedures started with abdomen exercises (Abdominal tuck-in), SLR (Straight Leg Raise) and pelvic floor exercise (pelvic bridging and Kegel’s exercises). The activities were done for 30minutes each day 2 meetings for a considerable length of time. After the end of treatment, post-test was finished utilizing a similar result measure.In view of the information gathered from every one of the examples, measurable examination was finished.  Results: On looking at pre and post-test inside group A and group B values, it showed identical distinction between group A and group B. Group A (KT with practice for NVD), showed better improvement. Additionally, group B (KT with practice for LSCS) showed a decent improvement yet not that as group A. Conclusion: This study concludes that abdominal exercises along with Kinesiotaping among postpartum women undergone NVD had considerable effects in reducing diastasis recti abdominis. It assists with increasing the abs strength and reestablishing post pregnancy stomach productivity.
