Combined Effects of Visceral Manipulation and Noble Technique on Inter-rectal Distance, Low Back Pain and Functional Disability in Post-partum Females With Diastasis Recti.
Combined Effects of Visceral Manipulation and Noble Technique on Inter-rectal Distance, Low Back Pain and Functional Disability in Post-partum Females With Diastasis Recti.
Diastasis recti is characterized by an abnormal expansion of the gap between the medial sides of the rectus abdominis muscle and a lengthening of the linea alba (increased inter-recti distance). It is mainly caused by excessive intra-abdominal pressure. The abdominal muscles and connective structures expand from the growing uterus during pregnancy. Low back pain is a prevalent complaint that can result from various factors, including weakened core muscles and functional disability. The aim of the study would assess of combined effect of visceral manipulation and noble technique on Inter-rectal distance, low back pain and functional disability in post-partum females with diastasis recti.
A randomized controlled trial will be conducted in DHQ Hospital Toba Tek Singh. A nonprobability convenience sampling technique will be used. There will be 34 participants. Participants will meet with inclusion criteria and be divided into two groups A and B. In Group A 17 participants will receive visceral manipulation technique with noble technique for 30 minutes per session, three sessions per week for 6 weeks. While in Group B 17 participants will just receive noble technique exercises for 15 min per session, three sessions per week for 6 weeks. Participants will be assessed before and after treatment through; Digital nylon calipers for diastasis recti, NPRS for pain, and Quebec Back Pain Disability Scale (QBPDS) to assess LBP-related functional. Data will be analyzed during SPSS software version 21
