Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Abdominal muscles thickness
Time Frame: 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
Time Frame: 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.
