Summary
A distinctive physio-pathological condition, diastasis rectus abdominis is characterised by an increase in the intermuscular distance along the linea alba, inter-recti distance (IRD). It is diagnosed by observation, palpation and ultrasound, the latter being the gold standard for establishing a diagnosis. The aim of treatment is both functional and aesthetic, involving abdominal rehabilitation exercises. The aim of this article is to list the various protocols th

Summary
There is much literature on this pathology, which has a complex aetiology. Many research teams have worked on the condition from its pathological description to its prevention. In addition, or as a result of this aetiology, the terminology has long been debated, making it complicated to describe the literature. In this article, we will describe groin pain, as it is currently understood, its diagnosis and its treatment from a physiotherapeutic perspective. We will

Summary

The transverse abdominis muscle or TrA can simply be described as the body’s natural corset

• It encircles the viscera attaching to the spine and the ribs,
• It creates a reflex contraction with each movement of the spine,
• It is less active in patients presenting chronic low back pain.

Its interaction with many upper limb muscles makes it a multipurpose muscle associated with major biological processes :

Summary
Due to their anatomical positioning, contraction of the deep abdominal muscles is often difficult to feel and therefore for patients to master. However, they are actively involved in spinal (or lumbar spine) stabilisation, and also in several biological processes [1]. They therefore constitute an important target in several physiotherapeutic treatments [1]. Questions are often raised regarding the assessment of their impact on these pathologies due to the lack of
