Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation versus Resisted Exercises on Muscular Arm Strength Post Dermolipectomy, SANAA A.A. MOSTAFA, AHMED M. KENAWY, WAFAA H. BORHAN and ASHRAF H. MOHAMED
Abstract
Background: Dermolipectomy is removing the extra skin and fats from upper arm, regular exercise regime will further improve the results of it by saving the musclular strength using resisted exercise or neuromuscular stimulation on upper arm postoperativly.
Aim of Study: To Strenghtening upper arm flexor, extensors and abductor groups post operative dermolipactomy by com-parison between resisted exercise and neuromuscular electrical stimulation.
Method: 30 females who had arm dermelipectomy. They were selected from Surgical Department from "New Kasr Ainy Hospital", their age ranged from 25-55 years and divided into two groups, Group A (neuromuscular electrical stimula-tion), Group B (strenghting ex).
Results: Resisted exercises are better than neuromuscular electrical stimulation in achieving better muscle strength and performance post-operative arm dermolipectomy thus prevent fat redistribution post-operatively in the arm.
Conclusion: Resisted exercises are preferred than neu-romuscular electrical stimulation in post-operative dermoli-pectomy on arm muscles to improve the muscle strength and performance.
