Abstract
Background and Purpose: This study examines the effects of ultrasonic fat cavitation versus faradic stimulation on postnatal abdominal obesity. Subjects and Methods: It was a randomized controlled trial. Overall, 40 patients complaining of abdominal adiposity postnatal, aged 25-35 years, were randomized into two equal groups. The control group (A) received sessions of abdominal ultrasonic cavitation treatment three times per week with a frequency of 40 kHz, a power of 45 W, and a duration of 30 minutes, in addition to a balanced diet programme consisting of between 1000kcal and 1200kcal per day for six weeks. The study group (B) received faradic stimulation treatment sessions focusing on their abdomen area three times per week with a duration of 30 minutes, in addition to a healthy diet plan which ranged from 1000kcal to 1200kcal/day for six weeks. Tape measurement was used to assess waist circumference; a digital calliper was used to determine fat thickness, while body analysis was used to evaluate fat percentage in both groups before and after the treatment.
