BACKGROUND: Diastasis rectus abdominis is a condition in which the rectus abdominis muscles separate and move laterally, causing stretching of the linea alba tissue with weakness of the abdominal wall. Although it can lead to hernia of the abdominal viscera, diastasis rectus abdominis is not a hernia in itself. This condition is common among women during pregnancy and the postpartum period and can significantly affect their quality of life and their return to sports activity. Unfortunately, information on the incidence, risk factors, prevention, and treatment of diastasis rectus abdominis are limited.
METHODS: We conducted a pilot prospective observational study on 37 patients who practiced sports at high levels (at least 3 times a week with amateur/competitive competitions) who underwent ultrasound measurements of the distance between the rectus abdominis muscles at the level of the xiphoid process, supraumbilical, umbilical, and subumbilical at time (T0), after 2 months from the rehabilitation protocol (T1), and then after 4 months of rehabilitation protocol (T2) from approximately 3 months after giving birth, and we saw an early return to sport.
RESULTS: Our data analysis reveals that there is an initial decrease in diastasis during the first 2 months with 3 weekly physiotherapy activity sessions in all 4 measurements. One session takes place on site with physiotherapists, while the other 2 are carried out at home using the rehabilitation protocol provided by the medical staff. At the 4-month follow-up, the improvement was similar to the previous follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Of the 37 women analyzed, 6 were referred to the surgeon; 2 for hernias and 4 for diastases greater than 4 cm. The remaining women benefited from a conservative approach. Patients undergoing the rehabilitation protocol showed improvements in all 4 measures, as well as their early return to sport.
