Study Groups

kinesiotaping

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

kinesiotaping

Intervention Type DEVICE

This group underwent a KT application on rectus abdominis muscle (RAM), oblique abdominal muscles (OAM) and cesarean incision twice a week for a period of 4 weeks. First, the scar technique will apply using I band with a tension of 50 % on cesarean incision when the patient will be in supine position. Then, tape will apply on RAM using muscle technique from origin to insertion of the muscle with a tension between 15 and 25 %.

Band will start on symphysis pubis with no tension, and then the patient was asked to stretch the abdominal region by deep abdominal respiration, and it will ended on xiphoid process.

Finally, it will perform on the right and left external oblique muscles. The procedure will start with no tension from the bottom end of the 6-12th ribs and then the hip will placed in flexion and rotation to the opposite direction and the band will taped on pubic bone with a tension between 15 and 25 %

electrical muscle stimulation

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

electrical muscle stimulation

Intervention Type DEVICE

It consists of 24 patients who will receive NMES and core stabilization exercises.

The subjects will explain to relax their abdominal muscles while application Stimulation will apply by four large rectangular electrodes placed over the origin (pubic crest) and insertion (xiphoid process) of the rectus abdominis muscles bilaterally. Straps will used to fix the electrodes in place. A frequency of 80 pulses/min and with a pulse width of 0.1-0.5ms, will the parameter settings apply in this study. The total time for the application of stimulation will 30mins and until a good enough observable muscle contraction will achieve a gradual increase in intensity will perform
