Abstract
Globally there has been a surge in Physical fitness Centers and as we enter an era of obsession with “Six pack abdomen” never before has the world witnessed such a fascination for Rectus Abdominis muscles as we see today. Diastasis of the rectus (DR) abdomen or divarication of recti muscle abdomen is the midline bulge caused by attenuation of the Linea alba. This attenuation of Diastasis recti (DR), is gradual and is characterized by thinning and widening of the Linea alba [1]. Diastasis recti (DR) is devoid of a true fascial defect, which is what differentiates it from a ventral hernia. Traditionally it has been associated with pregnancy. With the global epidemic of Obesity and the rise of Bariatric Surgery worldwise there is a surge in the prevalence of Diastasis Recti (DR). Perhaps its time to revisit & Analyze the factors associated with this obsession of Diastasis recti (DR).
