Article Synopsis
- The pubic symphysis is a non-synovial joint that connects the sides of the pubic rami and can widen during pregnancy due to hormonal changes, with a gap over 10 mm termed as pubic symphysis diastasis.
- Pregnancy and childbirth are the primary causes of this condition, which can lead to severe pain and difficulty standing or moving, especially during the postpartum period.
- Diagnosis involves a thorough medical history, physical exams, and imaging, with treatment typically focusing on pain management, pelvic stabilization, and in some cases, physiotherapy or surgical intervention.

During the operation, the PTT test electrical stimulation was impaired only for guitar playing, but not for other hand movements.
