ABSTRACT

Introduction: Pelvic floor plays an important role in maintaining continence. Pelvic floor distress reduces muscle strength, evaluation of pelvic floor muscle function is important.

Methods: Microsoft-Excel 2016 was used for data entry and basic Descriptive Statistics. Based on normality of the data as p value is less than 0.05, Spearman’s correlation coefficient test was used.

Results:  There was fair significant association found between pelvic floor distress & diastasis recti below level of umbilicus.

Conclusion: The results of the current study reject alternate hypothesis and states that fairly significantly correlates with diastasis recti below level of umbilicus pelvic floor distress is not correlated with pelvic floor function, diastasis recti above umbilicus, core strength.

KEYWORDS: Pelvic floor, distress, muscle strength.
