Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Standard Post-operative Instructions
Participants in the control group will be told upon post-operative discharge that they should follow the post-operative instructions.
Post-operative Precautions
This intervention includes standard of care post-operative instructions typically given to patients undergoing ventral hernia repair across the world. These include limiting strenuous physical activity and a lifting restriction of no more than 10 pounds for 6 weeks. Binder use is also encouraged for 4-6 weeks after the operation.
Supervised Physical Therapy
Participants in the physical therapy group will be scheduled for visits to the physical therapy clinic beginning two weeks after surgery, and will undergo supervised physical therapy treatments approximately twice per week for eight weeks according to a standardized evidence-based post-operative abdominal core surgery rehabilitation program.
Supervised Physical Therapy
The twice-per-week 8-week course of supervised physical therapy begins 2 weeks after surgery. It targets abdominal core function through progressive muscle retraining and strengthening, and patient-specific posture and body mechanics education.
