Effective Motor Control Exercises for Diastasis Recti: The Denizoglu Method

Understanding the Denizoglu Method for Diastasis Recti Abdominis

This study looked at a new exercise program called the Denizoglu Method, designed for women who have diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) after giving birth. DRA is when the abdominal muscles separate, which can happen during pregnancy. The goal was to see if this new method could help improve muscle strength and overall well-being.

What Worked?

  • The Denizoglu Method showed significant improvements in the distance between the separated abdominal muscles (IRD).
  • Women using this method also had better abdominal endurance and improved scores on body image satisfaction.
  • The conventional exercise program also helped, but the Denizoglu Method was more effective overall.

What Didn’t Work?

  • Both exercise programs helped, but the conventional method was not as effective as the Denizoglu Method in improving muscle separation and endurance.

How Does This Help Patients and Clinics?

The Denizoglu Method offers a new, effective way for women to manage DRA after childbirth. It can be done at home or in health care centers, making it accessible for many women.

Real-World Opportunities

  • Hospitals and clinics can adopt the Denizoglu Method as part of their postpartum care programs.
  • Health care providers can offer this method in group classes or one-on-one sessions.

Measurable Outcomes to Track

  • Inter-recti distance (IRD) before and after the program.
  • Static abdominal endurance test results.
  • Scores from the Pelvic Floor Distress Inventory-20 (PFDI-20-20).
  • Body image satisfaction scores from the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ).

AI Tools to Consider

Clinics can explore AI tools that help track patient progress and provide personalized exercise recommendations based on individual needs.

Step-by-Step Plan for Clinics

  1. Start by training staff on the Denizoglu Method and its benefits.
  2. Introduce the program in small groups or individual sessions.
  3. Monitor patient progress using the measurable outcomes listed above.
  4. Gather feedback from patients to improve the program.
  5. Gradually expand the program based on patient success and interest.
