From mechanics to mobilization: a biomechanically-informed rehabilitation framework for cesarean-related scars

Listen to this summary

The authors aim to address the lack of a standardized, biomechanically informed rehabilitation framework for managing cesarean-related scars, both superficial (abdominal wall) and deep (uterine niche). They propose a three-tier biomechanical framework for rehabilitation while highlighting significant evidence gaps, particularly regarding interventions for deep scars. The study emphasizes the need for future research to validate these approaches and improve care for post-cesarean patients.
