To perform the ADIM, follow these steps: 1. Lie on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the ground. 2. Place your fingertips just inside your hip bones. 3. Take a deep breath in, then exhale slowly. 4. During the exhalation, draw your belly button in towards your spine without moving your pelvis. 5. Hold the contraction for a few seconds while maintaining normal breathing. 6. Relax and repeat.
It’s important to ensure that the patient does not tilt their pelvis or hold their breath while performing the maneuver. This exercise should be done with control and precision to engage the correct muscles.
