Intervention model description: Sixty patients with ventral hernia, preoperatively, were randomly distributed into four equal groups: groups (A) \& (B) \& (C) ( three study groups ) and group (D) ( control group ).
Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The study was conducted to investigate the effect of preoperative graduated abdominal strengthening exercises and Russian stimulation on the abdominal muscles strength after ventral hernioplasty by using isokinetic dynamometer and Ultrasonography as methods of measurement.
