Efficacy of balance training on balance performance in obese patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy

Abstract

Background: The goal of this study was to investigate the effect of balance training on balance performance in obese patients undergoing sleeve gastrectomy. Study Design: in the current study the participants will be selected from the police hospital Subjects & Methods: Sixty patients who had sleeve gastrectomy were randomly divided into two equal groups. interventions. Group (A) received a program of balance training programs Periodic exercises were frequently performed for 45 min without rest among workouts with routine physical therapy program post abdominal surgical (breathing exercise, cough, and regular exercise). for three days per week for four weeks. Group (B): who takes sleeve gastrectomy with routine physical therapy program post abdominal surgery (breathing exercise, cough, and regular exercise). Main outcome measure: visual analog scale (VAS) and the Biodex Balance System (BBS). Results: Comparing both groups post- program revealed a statistically significant reduction in pain and increase in the Medio lateral stability index, anteroposterior stability index, and overall stability index in standing in both legs, on standing in RT leg only and standing in the left leg only. . All statistical measures were carried out using the statistical program for social sciences (SPSS) with version 27.
