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

March 24, 2021 updated by: Mohammed E. Ali, Ph. D Candidate., South Valley University

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

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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Abdominal muscles peak torque
Time Frame: first or initial assessment at day 0.
Peak torque is the single highest torque output of the joint produced by muscular contraction as the limb moves through the range of motion.
first or initial assessment at day 0.
Abdominal muscles peak torque
Time Frame: second or preoperative assessment after 6 weeks of treatment.
Peak torque is the single highest torque output of the joint produced by muscular contraction as the limb moves through the range of motion.
second or preoperative assessment after 6 weeks of treatment.
Abdominal muscles peak torque
Time Frame: third assessment at 2 months post-operative.
Peak torque is the single highest torque output of the joint produced by muscular contraction as the limb moves through the range of motion.
