Rectus diastasis repair with and without mesh at 1 year: randomized clinical trial Open
Background Rectus diastasis (RD) can cause functional impairment and pain. Surgical approaches vary regarding mesh use for linea alba restoration. The aim of this RCT was to compare plication supported by mesh (PSUM) with suture plication …

Identical movement control exercises with and without synchronized breathing for chronic non-specific low back pain:A randomized pilot trial Open
BACKGROUND: Exercise is a first-line treatment for chronic non-specific low back pain (CNSLBP). Exercise combined with specific breathing techniques have the potential to improve multifactorial outcomes. No previous studies, however, have …
