The Effect of Kinesio Taping on Reducing Diastasis Recti Abdominis Size in Postpartum Women

NCT06975397 NA COMPLETED

A three-arm parallel-group randomized controlled trial was conducted with 90 women aged 23-42 years, 6-8 weeks postpartum. Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups: no kinesiotaping (control), placebo kinesiotaping (no tension), and kinesiotaping with 50% tension. All participants followed the same exercise program. The primary outcome measure was the Diastasis Recti Index (DRI), assessed via ultrasound at baseline, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks.
