Why is the Transverse Abdominis Important in Nursing?
The TVA is vital for several reasons: 1. Core Stability: It acts as a natural corset, providing core stability and reducing the risk of lower back pain. 2. Post-Surgical Recovery: Proper engagement of the TVA can aid in post-surgical recovery, particularly after abdominal surgeries. 3. Prevention of Injuries: Strengthening the TVA can help in injury prevention, particularly in patients who are at risk of falls or have mobility issues.
