Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of a preoperative pulsed electromagnetic field and abdominal exercises on muscle strength post ventral hernioplasty.

Conditions

  • Hernia, Ventral

Interventions

OTHER

Pulsed electromagnetic field

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy was applied directly over the abdominal muscle from a supine position after the removal of metals or things that can be affected by a magnetic field will be assured prior to magnetic field application. The treatment parameters were set as 15 Hz frequency, 20 gauss amplitude with a rectangular waveform for 20 minutes.

OTHER

Graduated abdominal strengthening exercises

Four specific muscle core exercises were performed
