Ultrasound Distance Reliability Study

Research Report: Test-retest and intrarater reliability of 2-dimensional ultrasound measurements of distance between rectus abdominis in women

This research report investigates the reliability of using ultrasound imaging to measure the distance between the rectus abdominis muscles, a condition known as diastasis recti, which is common among pregnant women and those who have recently given birth.

The study focused on the consistency of measurements made at different times and by the same examiner.

The authors found that ultrasound imaging is a reliable tool for measuring diastasis recti, particularly at rest and during specific abdominal exercises. The reliability is good to very good.

The researchers recommend using ultrasound imaging in future studies to assess diastasis recti accurately changes over time.
