Summary

This study aims to evaluate the potential role of physical therapy in improving outcomes after ventral hernia repair.

Conditions

  • Ventral Hernia
  • Hernia
  • Herniorrhaphy
  • Abdominal Wall
  • Postoperative Period
  • Physical Therapy Modalities

Interventions

OTHER

Supervised Physical Therapy

The twice-per-week 8-week course of supervised physical therapy begins 2 weeks after surgery. It targets abdominal core function through progressive muscle retraining and strengthening, and patient-specific posture and body mechanics education.

OTHER

Post-operative Precautions

This intervention includes standard of care post-operative instructions typically given to patients undergoing ventral hernia repair across the world. These include limiting strenuous physical activity and a lifting restriction of no more than 10 pounds for 6 weeks. Binder use is also encouraged for 4-6 weeks after the operation.
