Objective: To explore the effect of ultrasonography in assessing the effect of rectus abdominis muscle separation and rehabilitation in postpartum women. Methods: 254 cases of postpartum women admitted to the hospital from January 2022 to July 2023 were selected as the study group, and 63 cases of women with rectus abdominis muscle not separated during the same period were selected as the control group, and all of them used GEDiscoveryE9 ultrasonic diagnostic instrument to compare the separation distance of rectus abdominis muscle of 3 cm above the umbilicus of the women in the two groups; and to compare the separation distance of rectus abdominis muscle of the women in the study group after treatment. Results: The rectus abdominis muscle separation distance of 3 cm above the umbilicus was (4.36 ± 0.87) cm in the study group and (1.88 ± 0.07) cm in the control group, and the difference between the study group and the control group was significant (P < 0.05); the rectus abdominis muscle separation of the study group was (3.78 ± 0.69) cm, (3.01 ± 0.69) cm and (3.01 ± 0.69) cm respectively in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th post treatment; and the rectus abdominis muscle separation of the study group was (3.78 ± 0.69) cm, (3.01 ± 0.58) cm, (2.75 ± 0.57) cm, (2.31 ± 0.48) cm, (1.97 ± 0.36) cm, and (1.95 ± 0.44) cm, respectively, with a significant difference compared to the pre-treatment (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The optimal section for ultrasonographic detection of rectus abdominis muscle separation in the postpartum period was 3.5 cm below the umbilicus, and this section was able to effectively assess the degree of rectus abdominis muscle separation in patients.
