Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Obesity, Abdominal
Interventions
Other: device and exercise
Registration Number
NCT05690659
Lead Sponsor
Deraya University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of cavitation ultrasonic lipolysis, RUSI guided core muscle exercise and their combination (cavitation ultrasonic lipolysis and RUSI guided core muscles exercise) on diaphragmatic excursion, transverse abdominis activation ratio, visceral fat thickness and waist circumference in patients with visceral adiposity patients with visceral adiposity will be recognized by nutrition specialist. 45 patients were distributed randomly into three groups. The first group will be treated with Cavitation lipolysis twice weekly. The second group was treated with rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (RUSI) guided core muscle exercise. The third group was treated with combination of cavitation and RUSI. patients will be examined with medical ultrasound imaging and tape measurement.

RUSI guided core muscle exercisedevice and exercise2 sesions / week for 10 sessions For diaphragm muscle the transducer was placed on the sub costal region to visualize diaphragm muscle on the screen aiming to use US as a visual feedback procedure. instructed to have 5 seconds to contract the diaphragm muscle by deep breathing and hold the contraction. At the end of the 5-second period, the image was saved on the screen, and the measurement of the resultant increase in thickness was performed. Each subject performed a total of 10 contractions (intervention session) For transverse abdominis exercise,. draw in your umbilicus toward the spine without moving back or pelvis, while comfortably breathing in and out," for 10 seconds hold and then 15 seconds rest in between, it was repeated 3 sets of ten while keeping the transducer perpendicular to the surface of the skin in a transverse plane halfway between the ASIS and the lower ribcage along the anterior axillary line
