Introduction: Aim of the present study was to compare the effect of pilates and core
stability exercises on diastasis recti, pain, functional disability and quality of life of
primiparous mothers with nonspecific low back pain.
Methodology: A total of 20 primiparous mothers between the ages of 20 and 30
were included in the study based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. At the pre-test
stage, subject's diastasis recti, pain, functional disability and quality of life were
assessed by ultrasound device, VAS visual scale, Oswestery questionnaire and
SF36 questionnaire, respectively. Subjects in exercise groups then performed their
respective exercises for 8 weeks. At the end of 8 weeks, all study variables were
examined again in the post-test stage. Two-way analysis of variance was used to
statistically analyze the research findings at a significance level of P≤0.05.
Findings: The results of two-way analysis of variance showed that in both training
groups, the variables of diastasis recti, pain, functional disability and quality of life of
the subjects in the post-test improved significantly compared to the pre-test. Also,
the results of two-way analysis of variance showed that in the post-test stage, there
is no significant difference between the mean of the studied variables between the
two training groups.
Discussion: Pilates and core stability exercises due to ongoing stimulation of sub-
maximal contractions and correction of movement patterns by invoking and
increasing the strength and coordination of the body's core stabilizer muscles, plays
a significant role in improving diastasis recti, pain, function and quality of life in
primiparous mothers with nonspecific low back pain.
