Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

To investigate the effect of preoperative graduated abdominal exercises and Russian stimulation on the abdominal muscles' strength after abdominoplasty. Sixty patients will undergo abdominoplasty, their age ranged from 20 to 45 years, they were randomly distributed into four equal groups. The ultrasonography was used to evaluate abdominal muscle thickness as indicator for muscle strength at 4 occasions, initial assessment, pre-operative assessment, 2 months post-operative assessment, and finally 4 months post-operative assessment). For study group (A); received graduated abdominal exercises, group (B); received Russian stimulation on abdominal muscles, group (c); received combination between graduated abdominal exercises and Russian stimulation on abdominal muscles, the study groups received the treatment protocol for 30 min., 3 times per week for 6 weeks preoperatively for control group (D); were instructed to presume in normal activities of daily living preoperatively

Sixty patients will undergo abdominoplasty, their age ranged from 20 to 45 years, they were randomly distributed into four equal groups. The ultrasonography was used to evaluate abdominal muscle thickness as indicator for muscle strength at 4 occasions, initial assessment, pre-operative assessment, 2 months post-operative assessment, and finally 4 months post-operative assessment). For study group (A); received graduated abdominal exercises, group (B); received Russian stimulation on abdominal muscles, group (c); received combination between graduated abdominal exercises and Russian stimulation on abdominal muscles, the study groups received the treatment protocol for 30 min., 3 times per week for 6 weeks preoperatively for control group (D); were instructed to presume in normal activities of daily living preoperatively

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

they received graduated abdominal strengthening exercises for 30 min., 3 times per week for 6 weeks preoperatively.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Graduated abdominal strengthening exercises

Intervention Type OTHER

Graduated abdominal strengthening exercises

In this study the following equipments will be used to achieve treatment approaches:

Exercise mat and inflatable Swiss ball 55 cm \& 65 cm diameter. Wall bar, wedges, elastic tubing (Thera-band) with resistance ranges from light to very heavy (yellow, red, blue, green, and gray colors).

The Study group B

they received Russian stimulation on abdominal muscles for 30 min., 3 times per week for 6 weeks preoperatively.

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

they received combination between graduated abdominal strengthening exercises and Russian stimulation on abdominal muscles for 30 min., 3 times per week for 6 weeks preoperatively.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Combination Product: Graduated abdominal strengthening exercises and the Russian current stimulation

Intervention Type OTHER

Graduated abdominal strengthening exercises and the Russian current stimulation

In this study the following equipments will be used to achieve treatment approaches:

Exercise mat and inflatable Swiss ball 55 cm \& 65 cm diameter. Wall bar, wedges, elastic tubing (Thera-band) with resistance ranges from light to very heavy (yellow, red, blue, green, and gray colors).

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

The Control group D

they were instructed to presume in normal activities of daily living preoperatively, without abdominal exercises or Russian stimulation.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
