COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Whole Body Vibration

vibration was administered for 1min, with a rest interval of 1min between each vibration set repeating 10 vibrations, with a frequency of 30 Hz and an amplitude of 0-2 mm and a speed of 50 m /s,18 and these sessions lasted for 6 weeks 3 days a week. whole-body vibration was induced by a noninvasive oscillation platform

OTHER

pelvic floor exercises and static abdominal exercises in addition to diet instructions

During the low abdominal hollowing with instructed pelvic floor co-contraction test subjects were instructed with the standard command: 'Breathing normally, and keeping your back still, gently lift and tighten your pelvic floor. Now gently draw in your low tummy as well and hold it'. Pelvic floor facilitates transversus abdominis thickness. subject in supine lying with her arms crossed over the diastasis for support.
