Sponsor's own description
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effects of Transverse Abdominis (TrA) activation, Rectus Abdominis (RA) strengthening, and their combined approach on inter-rectus distance (IRD) and core stability in postpartum women diagnosed with diastasis rectus abdominis (DRA). Thirty-three participants will be randomly allocated into three groups and will complete a six-week exercise program at the Pakistan Society for the Rehabilitation of the Disabled (PSRD) Hospital, Lahore. The study will use real-time ultrasound and pressure biofeedback assessment to evaluate changes in IRD and core stability. It is hypothesized that TrA activation and the combined intervention will produce greater improvements compared to RA strengthening alone.
