Abstract
Purpose: The hormonal changes during pregnancy & in postpartum period has been known to cause abdominal weakness leading to diastasis recti. There have been studies which shows the effect of diastasis recti correction exercises on reduction of diastasis recti. Also there are studies on effects of Taping on diastasis recti. There are no studies on the combined effectiveness of diastasis recti correction exercises & taping on reduction of diastasis recti in postpartum females. Diastasis Recti occurs because of weakness of abdominal muscles during pregnancy. Taping along with the Diastasis Recti Correction Exercises used to reduces the separation. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effect of Diastasis Recti correction exercises with Diastasis Recti Correction Exercises combined with K-Taping on pre-post score Digital Vernier Caliper. The score was measured and SD was reported. Method: A comprehensive literature search was performed. The groups are divided into two A & B. Digital Vernier Caliper is used as an outcome measure to get the measurement. Result: 18 samples met the inclusion criteria. The result showed that Diastasis Recti Correction Exercises (n=9), (SD= 0.11113). However, Diastasis Recti Correction Exercises along with K-Taping (n=9), (SD=0.11399) showed statistically significant result (p value less than 0.05) in reduction of Inter Diastasis Recti distance. Conclusion: The most effective result was observed post Taping & Diastasis Recti Reduction Exercises compared to the result of Diastasis Recti Correction Exercises alone. This shows that K-Taping along with the Diastasis Recti Correction Exercises is more effective in the reduction of inter recti separation & activation of DRA (i.e Diastasis Recti Abdominis).
