Advances in Treatment of Postpartum Rectus Abdominis Separation. American Journal of Nursing Science. Vol. 7, No. 5, 2018, pp. 178-181. doi: 10.11648/j.ajns.20180705.14 Received: July 30, 2018; Accepted: September 12, 2018; Published: October 9, 2018 Abstract: Objective: The study aims to explore the value of bionic electrical stimulation as a new clinical therapeutic instrument in the repair of postpartum rectus abdominis separation. Methods: The related literatures at home and abroad were searched and collected, and the research progress of clinical treatment of postpartum rectus abdominis separation was summaried, for the purpose to provide reference value for clinical research of postpartum rectus abdominis separation. Results: There was no study on biomimetic electrical stimulation combined with warm moxibustion belt in the treatment of postpartum rectus abdominis separation in all related literatures. Conclusion: A further and better exploration on the method of bionic electrical stimulation combined with warm moxibustion waistband in the treatment of postpartum rectus abdominis separation. This study is expected to provide a more scientific method for obstetric treatment. Keywords: Postpartum, Postpartum Rectus Abdominis Separation, Treatment 1. Introduction Rectus abdominis is located in the pubic symphysis and the pubic spine to the sternal xiphoid and the 5 ~ 7 rib cartilage between the muscle tissue, which can be touched on both sides of the median line of the anterior abdominal wall [1]. With the growing of the fetus in the mother's womb, fetal pressure on the lumbar spine of pregnant women will also further increase the expansion of the abdominal wall of uterus which will cause the anterior rectus abdominis raphe of pregnant women gradual relaxation, while the linea alba separates to two sides, and this process is the separation of the rectus abdominis, after delivery of the fetus, the abdomen of the puerpera will show more obvious separation of the rectus abdominis [2-3]. At present, the corrective treatment of rectus abdominis separation has two methods, surgical and non-surgical, among them, non-surgical treatment is more acceptable for patients. Non-surgical treatment includes self-training, aerobic exercise, pseudo-bioelectric stimulation [4], etc. Among them, the bionic electric stimulation therapy can make the abdominal muscles of puerperas get all-round exercise to improve the treatment compliance, which has a good application prospect in the separation of postpartum abdominal rectus.
