A comparative study on prevalence of diastasis recti in primipara and multipara undergone full term normal delivery-a research protocol

Abstract

Background: Diastasis Recti is very common in women after pregnancy. Diastasis recti among women should be treated as soon as possible as it may cause various musculoskeletal dysfunctions. A digital caliper is a tool for assessing diastasis recti in postpartum women. It is a simple, fast, and reliable assessment tool for assessing diastasis recti. Objective: The objective of the study is to find the prevalence of Diastasis Recti in Primipara and Multipara undergone full-term normal delivery and to compare the prevalence of diastasis recti in the both of the groups Method: This study will be carried out in Physiotherapy OPD, Ravi Nair Physiotherapy College and AVBRH, Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha. Diastasis recti will be evaluated in full-term normal delivery females. Diastasis recti will be compared in primipara and multipara using a digital caliper. Results: The result of the study will be estimated by the statistical analysis of the data and will be discussed after the study is completed.Conclusion: After going through various studies, many studies have indicated that the prevalence of diastasis recti abdominis is commonly seen in multipara undergone cesarean section delivery. Very few studies indicate the prevalence of diastasis recti abdominis in primipara and also women underwent full-term normal delivery. Therefore, the current study is carried outreach a conclusion to find whether there is any discrepancy of the prevalence of diastasis recti abdominis between primipara and multipara in females undergone full-term normal delivery.
