Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of preoperative graduated abdominal strengthening exercises and Russian stimulation on the abdominal muscles strength after ventral hernioplasty by using isokinetic dynamometer and Ultrasonography as methods of measurement.

Detailed Description

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

FACTORIAL

Sixty patients with ventral hernia, preoperatively, were randomly distributed into four equal groups: groups (A) \& (B) \& (C) ( three study groups ) and group (D) ( control group ).
Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Outcome Assessors
Blinding process to participants and care providers was impossible due to the nature of intervention therapy. Data were analyzed by an impartial statistician (outcomes assessor), referring to each arm with an encoded name: groups (A) \& (B) \& (C) ( three study groups ) and group (D) ( control group )

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

The Study group A

graduated abdominal strengthening exercises group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Graduated abdominal strengthening exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

1. Exercise mat and inflatable Swiss ball
2. Wall bar, wedges, elastic tubing

The Study group B

Russian stimulation group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

The Russian current stimulation

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Russian current is used for enhancing muscle; the muscular fiber by the electric stimulation.

The Study group C

combination group
