Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Abdominal muscles thickness	fourth assessment at 4 months post-operative.	it is a method for muscle strength measurement as muscle strength is correlated to its cross section or diameter.
Abdominal muscles peak torque	fourth assessment at 4 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.
