Abstract：Objective To investigate the effect of breathing training combined with low-frequency pulse electrical stimulation in the rehabilitation of postpartum diastasis recti abdominis.Methods A total of 90 patients diagnosed with diastasis recti abdominis after delivery in Liaocheng Second People's Hospital from March 2021 to May 2023 were selected as the study objects,and were divided into control group and study group randomly,with 45 cases in each group.The control group was treated with low-frequency pulse electrical stimulation,and the research group was treated with respiratory training after low-frequency pulse electrical stimulation.The clinical efficacy of the two groups after treatment was compared,and the abdominal circumference,intra-abdominal pressure,rectus spacing,root mean square(RMS)value of rectus muscle,class I and Class II muscle strength of pelvic floor muscle fibers and visual analog scale(VAS)scores of the two groups were compared before and after treatment.Results After treatment,the abdominal circumference and upper abdominal angle of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group,the abdominal pressure was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05).The distance between rectus abdominis muscles of 5 cm above the umbilicus,the umbilical level and 5 cm below the umbilicus were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).The maximum muscle strength of rectus abdominis muscle RMS,Class I muscle fiber and class Ⅱ muscle fiber were significantly higher than those of the control group(P<0.05).The VAS scores of the study group were significantly lower than those of the control group at all time periods(P<0.05).Conclusion Respiratory training combined with low-frequency electrical stimulation can improve the degree of separation of the rectus abdominis muscle,enhance pelvic floor muscle strength,and alleviate lower back pain.
