简要总结
To investigate the effect of preoperative graduated abdominal exercises and Russian stimulation on the abdominal muscles' strength after abdominoplasty
详细描述
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

盲法说明
Blinding process to participants and care providers was impossible due to the nature of intervention therapy. Data were analyzed by an impartial statistician (outcomes assessor), referring to each arm with an encoded name: groups (A) & (B) & (C) ( three study groups ) and group (D) ( control group )

结局指标
主要结局
Abdominal muscles peak torque
时间窗: 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.
Abdominal muscles thickness
时间窗: 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.
