“…Even though DRA is defined as increased distance between the two musclebellies of the rectus abdominis, the condition does not only affect the abdominal walls -it has significant consequences for the whole body [5]. The most common dysfunctions that accompany DRA are: lumbo-pelvic pain [6][7][8], urinary and fecal incontinence, lowering of lesser pelvis organs [9], sexual disorders [10], and peristaltic disorders [11].…”

Introduction: Diastasis recti abdominis (DRA) is both a structural and a functional disorder. It is believed that the main cause of DRA is the extensive stretching of the abdominal wall resulting from pregnancy; yet the condition is also found in men and in children. There are several, seemingly mutually exclusive, DRA risk factors, such as the pathological abdominal muscle tension and chronic exercise deficits. The aim of the study was to determine the factors affecting the size of DRA in postpartum women. Material and methods: The study involved 239 postpartum women. The study was conducted with the use of an online survey. The subjects completed the DRA test, the Beighton test and International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Results: The analysis found DRA in majority of studied women (60.7%). The relationship between the BMI index and DRA was statistically significant (p=0.01). The relationship between surgeries in the abdominal cavity and the DRA was statistically significant, too (p=0.05). We showed that DRA correlates with other pelvic dysfunctions (p=0.03). Conclusions: The most significant risk factors for diastasis recti abdominis in postpartum women are abnormal BMI and surgeries to the abdominal cavity. Diastasis recti abdominis correlates with other dysfunctions, such as: spinal pain, urinary incontinence, peristaltic disorders, sexual disorders, abdominal hernia, groin hernia, lowering of the lesser pelvis organs. Further studies into DRA risk factors under close supervision of a physiotherapist are necessary.

The purpose of this research is to explore the biomechanical consequences of maternal injuries on fetal movements. Additionally, the research aims to comprehend the relationship between these injuries and fetal movement within the amniotic sac and to understand the extent to which the amniotic fluid can provide protection during severe injuries. The focus is on the potential impact these injuries could have on surgical procedures and preventative strategies. Using advanced computational simulations, the study investigates how various maternal injuries can influence the behavior of amniotic fluid and the subsequent stress exerted on fetal development. The findings suggest that maternal injuries can induce stress, primarily affecting the posterior regions of the fetus and the umbilical cord, depending on the boundary and initial conditions. This stress is associated with fetal displacement within the amniotic sac. While the amniotic fluid provides a certain level of protection, its limitations become apparent during severe injuries. These insights have implications for the field of surgery, particularly fetal procedures. They underscore the need for improved protective measures and the development of personalized obstetric and neonatal care strategies. Moreover, the study highlights the potential of computational simulations in aiding surgeons. These simulations can provide a more accurate understanding of the critical areas to focus on during surgical procedures, thereby enhancing the precision and safety of these operations.
