The relationship between diastasis rectus abdominus, pelvic floor trauma and function in primiparous women postpartum

Vered H. Eisenberg et al.

Summary: The study found that urinary symptoms were significantly higher in the DRA group. Decreased abdominal force and endurance were observed in the DRA2-3 group compared to the DRA0-1 group, with differences in DFET and SFET test results.

Correlations of the rectus abdominis muscle anatomy with anthropometric measurements

Fabien Fredon et al.

Summary: The anatomy of the anterior abdominal wall correlated with anthropometric data, including BMI. Differences in rectus abdominis muscles and linea alba structures were observed between men and women.

Women with diastasis recti abdominis might have weaker abdominal muscles and more abdominal pain, but no higher prevalence of pelvic floor disorders, low back and pelvic girdle pain than women without diastasis recti abdominis

Sandra Gluppe et al.

Summary: Women with DRA tend to have weaker abdominal muscles and a higher prevalence of abdominal pain, but show no significant differences in PFD, low back, and pelvic girdle pain compared to women without DRA.

The relationship of severity in diastasis recti abdominis and pelvic floor dysfunction: a retrospective cohort study

Hui Fei et al.

Summary: This study found a high prevalence of DRA during the first postpartum year, with cesarean section and multiple parturitions identified as risk factors. However, the presence of DRA did not show a significant connection with urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse.

Intra-abdominal pressure correlates with abdominal wall tension during clinical evaluation tests

Jakub Novak et al.

Summary: The abdominal muscles play crucial roles in respiration and spinal stabilization. This study showed strong correlations between anorectal pressure and abdominal wall tension in various respiratory and postural situations. Abdominal wall tension can predict intra-abdominal pressure, indicating the potential for indirect evaluation of abdominal pressure through monitoring abdominal wall tension.

Prevalence and risk factors for diastasis recti abdominis: a review and proposal of a new anatomical variation

M. Cavalli et al.

Summary: This article critically reviews the prevalence and risk factors of diastasis recti abdominis (DRA). Results suggest that DRA is a highly prevalent condition, with parity, BMI, and diabetes being potential risk factors. Additionally, a new anatomical variation was identified that could be associated with DRA. Further large sample studies are necessary to determine the true prevalence.

Self-reported symptoms in women with diastasis rectus abdominis: A systematic review

Laura Fuentes Aparicio et al.

Summary: DRA is significantly associated with self-reported symptoms such as compromised physical health and functioning, abdominal discomfort, and body image satisfaction. However, heterogeneous data were identified in relation to disability related with low back pain. No correlation has been found between DRA and urinary incontinence, severity and presence of low back pain, voiding symptoms, vaginal symptoms or sexual matters.
