Registered outcomes6
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change in Inter-Recti Distance | Baseline (0-3 days postpartum) and 6 weeks postpartum. | Inter-recti distance measured in millimeters (mm) using a digital electronic caliper with an accuracy of 0.01 mm. Participants are positioned supine with knees flexed at 90 degrees. Measurements are taken at three anatomical locations (2 cm above, directly at, and 2 cm below the umbilicus) under two conditions: at rest and during a standardized curl-up maneuver (abdominal crunch until the inferior angles of the scapulae clear the bench). |
| Secondary | Assessment of Abdominal Muscle Function by the ACSM Curl-up Test | 6 weeks postpartum | Abdominal muscle endurance and performance evaluated using the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Curl-up Test protocol. The assessment includes two parameters: the total number of correctly completed repetitions (unit of measure: number of repetitions) and the movement distance of the fingertips along the measuring strip (unit of measure: centimeters). |
| Secondary | Assessment of linea alba bulging | Baseline (0-3 days postpartum) and 6 weeks postpartum. | Visual observation and classification of midline abdominal bulging during three functional maneuvers: curl-up test, straight leg raise in supine position, and spinal extension in standing position. Outcome is reported as a binary classification ("Bulging - YES" vs. "Bulging - NO"). The occurrence of bulging in any of the performed tests results in assignment to the "YES" category, regardless of the specific maneuver in which it was observed. |
| Secondary | Assessment of kinesiophobia using the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia | 6 weeks postpartum | Assessment of kinesiophobia using the unabbreviated 11-item Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-11). Total scores range from 11 to 44 points, where higher scores indicate a worse outcome. |
| Secondary | Assessment of back pain-related disability using the Oswestry Disability Index | 6 weeks postpartum | Assessment of low back pain-related disability using the unabbreviated Oswestry Disability Index (ODI). Total scores range from 0% to 100%, where higher percentages indicate a worse outcome. |
| Secondary | Assessment of body perception using the Body Esteem Scale BES | 6 weeks postpartum | The Polish version of the Body Esteem Scale (BES) is a 35-item self-report questionnaire measuring attitudes toward one's body on a 5-point Likert scale from 1 ("strong negative feelings") to 5 ("strong positive feelings"). For females, items are grouped into three subscales: Sexual Attractiveness, Weight Concern, and Physical Condition. Higher scores represent a more positive body image and higher body esteem. Raw scores are transformed into age-adjusted sten scores (scale 1-10), interpreted as low (1-3 sten), moderate (4-7 sten), or high (8-10 sten) body esteem. |
