Finland42 participantsStarted 2018-01-01

Plain-language summary

The aim of this study was to compare participants with increased symptoms after index pregnancy with those reporting no change in back pain or subjective movement control and analyzed their inter rectus distance (IRD). This study is a case-control study of a cohort of women who had delivered a year earlier. We recruited participants with increased symptoms (n=14) after index pregnancy and controls (n=41) and recorded their inter rectus distance with ultrasound. A questionnaire was filled, and an ultrasound was performed two times for the study groups.
