To investigate the effects of ultrasonic evaluation of a progressive yoga exercise program on reducing the inter-recti distance (IRD) among women in the early postpartum period. Postpartum women ( = 116), free of obstetric complications and in recovery following vaginal delivery between weeks 1 and 12, were recruited. Participants were randomly assigned to the control and yoga exercise group in the pre- and post-intervention design. The control group received no treatment, while the yoga exercise group participated in a guided 12-week progressive yoga exercise program started at postpartum week 1. The IRD was examined using high-frequency ultrasound at postpartum weeks 6 and 12. The results showed that the supraumbilical, umbilical, and subumbilical IRD were significantly decreased in the yoga exercise group after the 12-week progressive yoga exercise intervention compared with the first (week 6) and second (week 12) measurements. The differences in IRD at supraumbilical, umbilical, and subumbilical intervals between weeks 6 and 12 significantly increased in the yoga exercise group. Progressive yoga exercises are effective program that reduce IRD among women in the early postpartum period through ultrasound evaluation. In conclusion, women should advocate combined yoga exercise in the early postpartum days following a supervised program.
研究超声评估渐进瑜伽运动方案对减少产后早期女性腹直肌间距离（IRD）的影响。招募了无产科并发症并在产后 1 至 12 周经阴道分娩后恢复的产后女性（n=116）。采用预-后干预设计，将参与者随机分配到对照组和瑜伽运动组。对照组未接受任何治疗，而瑜伽运动组则参加了从产后第 1 周开始的为期 12 周的指导渐进瑜伽运动方案。在产后第 6 和第 12 周使用高频超声检查IRD。结果表明，与第 1 次（产后第 6 周）和第 2 次（产后第 12 周）测量相比，瑜伽运动组在 12 周渐进瑜伽运动干预后，上脐、脐和下脐IRD 均显著降低。瑜伽运动组在脐上、脐和脐下间隔的IRD 差异在第 6 周至第 12 周显著增加。渐进瑜伽运动是一种有效的方案，可以通过超声评估减少产后早期女性的IRD。总之，女性应该在产后早期提倡在监督方案下进行联合瑜伽运动。
