Abdominal muscle separation and spine curvature after childbirth
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study looks at how separated belly muscles (diastasis recti) relate to the curve of the spine in women after having a baby. It may help understand if belly muscle changes affect back health.

This study looks at how childbirth affects the diaphragm and other breathing muscles in women with and without a condition called diastasis recti abdominis (abdominal muscle separation). It aims to understand differences in breathing muscle function to help guide future treatments.
This study compares two types of gentle exercises to help close the gap that forms between abdominal muscles after childbirth. You'll be assigned to one exercise program and measured to see which works better.
This study tests if a program of trunk and breathing exercises can help close the gap in abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) that sometimes happens after pregnancy. It is for women who are at least 6 months postpartum and have a muscle separation larger than 2.8 cm.
This trial tests whether specific abdominal exercises can help close the gap between stomach muscles (diastasis recti) and improve core strength in women who have recently given birth. It may benefit those who delivered a single baby, even if they needed help during delivery.
This study compares two types of exercises to help close the gap in your belly muscles that can happen after pregnancy. It may be for you if you have a gap larger than 4cm and certain types of pain.
