Acute effect of an abdominal exercise combining diaphragmatic aspiration and Curl-up on the interrecti distance: a cross sectional study in postpartum women

Abstract

Diastasis recti is defined as an interrecti distance (IRD) over 23 mm in Beninese postpartum women. Its prevalence is 46%. The Curl-up acutely reduces the IRD but it increases the linea alba distortion and it is considered to be yperpressive.
