This case report demonstrates a therapeutic exercise program as a noninvasive functional treatment for symphysis pubis diastasis (SPD) and reports its results. A 32-year-old primigravida with SPD during labour received a specific functional exercise program, which consisted of abdominal stabilization and strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles, hip adductors, and extensors; training for bed mobility; and walking training with suitable aids. The program was performed for 1-hour per session, twice a day, for 2 weeks. Before the intervention, the patient was totally dependent on others for performing her daily activities owing to severe pain in the pelvic region. After the 2-week intervention, however, the interpubic distance was reduced by 36% (from 22mm to 14mm), and pain and functional disability were remarkably improved. Moreover, the patient could walk independently for 30m with a pelvic corset. Our results suggest that a systematically designed functional rehabilitation program may be beneficial in the functional recovery of patients suffering from SPD related to pregnancy. |
