Diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscles is a separation of the linea alba, a connective tissue that acts like straps joining the muscles in the middle of the abdomen. This is mostly common in pregnant women, as the tissue attachments widen and split to accommodate the growing fetus. In severe cases, the split may impair recruitment of the rectus abdominis and result in pain and dysfunction of the abdominals, back, and pelvis. The abdominals are protruding and it is often called mommy tummy”

Cách kiểm tra sự tách rời: 

Every pregnant student starting week 20 onwards and all postnatal students should be checked for rectus separation.

The student is in supine with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, hip width apart. Place three middle fingers across, 2-4 cm above the student’s navel. Ask her to keep her abdominals relaxed and lift her head.
