[Evaluation of the physical and psychosocial consequences of the diastasis of the rectus abdominis and its interference in health: A mixed study].

Introduction: Diastasis rectus abdominis (DRA) is defined as the separation of the rectus abdominis along the linea alba. This condition can occur in both sexes, being frequent in women during pregnancy and pospartum. There is little evidence on the consequences of DRA on the quality of life of women.

The Association between Postpartum Pelvic Girdle Pain and Pelvic Floor Muscle Function, Diastasis Recti and Psychological Factors-A Matched Case-Control Study.

There is uncertainty regarding the association between abdominal morphology, pelvic floor function, and psychological factors in women with postpartum pelvic girdle pain (PGP). The aim of this case-control study was to evaluate the differences between women with and without persistent PGP regarding pelvic floor function, diastasis recti, and psychological factors 6−24 weeks postpartum. Pelvic floor manometry, palpation examination of abdominal muscles, the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Short Form, The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale—21, and the Pain Catastrophizing Scale were used.

The effect of an abdominopelvic exercise program alone VS in addition to postural instructions on pelvic floor muscle function in climacteric women with stress urinary incontinence. A randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: Scarce literature exists regarding the influence of posture-based interventions for the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

Objective: The aim of this randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups was to investigate whether the addition of postural instructions to a 12-week abdominopelvic exercise program is superior to an abdominopelvic exercise program alone, in terms of PFMs function and symptoms in climacteric women with SUI.

Methods: Climacteric women aged between 40-75 years old who presented with SUI were included in this parallel study (NCT03727945).

Relationship between urinary incontinence and back or pelvic girdle pain: a systematic review with meta-analysis.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Many observational studies have suggested the existence of a link between urinary incontinence (UI) and lumbopelvic pain. The aim of our study is to evaluate the association between UI and back pain (BP) or pelvic girdle pain (PGP) in the adult population.

Methods: This systematic review with meta-analysis was registered in PROSPERO under the number 2019:CRD42019120047.
