Effect of Preoperative Abdominal Exercises and Russian Current on Muscle Strength Post Ventral Hernioplasty

South Valley University60 enrolled

Overview

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.

Abdominal muscles peak torque

Peak torque is the single highest torque output of the joint produced by muscular contraction as the limb moves through the range of motion.

Time frame: first or initial assessment at day 0.
