Overview
Coordinated contraction of the abdominal muscles (mainly m. transversus abdominis), the diaphragm and the pelvic floor, combined with increase of the intra-abdominal pressure, provide the spine stability at different static and dynamic movements. The pathology of linea alba – location of the abdominal muscles attachment – can dramatically influence this fragile muscle coactivation and by that can bring forth vertebral disorders. Our study, based on comparison of anamnestic data, incidence of diastasis and clinical examination of patients with low back pain and the control group, tried to review the importance of diastasis in genesis of lumbar vertebropathies.
Key words:
diastasis recti abdominis, low back pain, spine stability
