[9] Diastasis recti is defined as a gap of about 2.7 cm or greater between the two sides of the rectus abdominis muscle. [1]

The linea alba (Latin for: white line) is a strong fibrous midline structure [1] of the anterior abdominal wall [2] situated between the two recti abdominis muscles (one on either side). The umbilicus (navel) is a defect in the linea alba through which foetal umbilical vessels pass before birth. [ 1 ]
[1] [2] The rectus abdominis muscle is contained in the rectus sheath , which consists of the aponeuroses of the lateral abdominal muscles. Each rectus abdominus is traversed by bands of connective tissue called the tendinous intersections , which interrupt it into distinct muscle bellies.
