Summary

To investigate the effect of preoperative graduated abdominal exercises and Russian stimulation on the abdominal muscles' strength after abdominoplasty

Detailed description

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
