Abstract
Background: Rectus Diastasis (RD) is a commonly occurring problem during pregnancy and immediate puerperium. It causes an increase in abdominal circumferences ,low back pain together with dissatisfaction about body shape, altered self-esteem, and disadvantage in interpersonal relationships. Purpose: The study was designed to compare the efficacy of different techniques of kinesiotaping (KT) in treating postpartum RD. Subjects & Methods: 45 women suffering from RD, their age ranged from 24 and 40 years, their BMI between 26 and 44 kg/m2. Patients were randomized equally into 3 groups : Group A (15women received KT-I technique),Group B (15 women received KT-X technique) in addition to group C (15women received KT-I-X techniques) for 4 consecutive weeks. Evaluation of waist circumferences and the distance between 2 Recti was done before the start of the study and after 4 weeks. Results: A highly significant improvement was noticed in all measuring variables for the 3 KT techniques but the IX-technique was the best one, followed by the X- technique, and the I- technique was the least one. Conclusions: Abdominal KT in the form of IX-technique is the most effective technique in reducing abdominal circumferences and the treatment of postpartum rectus diastasis.
