Introduction and Aim: An umbilical hernia is defined by swelling or bulging in the umbilical region. Pain in the area of the bulge becomes more intense and excruciating while lifting weights, coughing, straining during a bowel movement, or intense physical activity. The aim of the study is to find the effectiveness of core strengthening exercises in post-surgical management of umbilical hernia with safe handling techniques.
Materials and Methods: 30 patients who had undergone umbilical hernia surgery around the abdominal region were selected dividing into the experimental group & conventional group using convenient sampling technique. They were given core strengthening exercise to strengthen the affected area in order to prevent the recurrence of the hernia in the same place. The difference in the development of the affected muscle region was seen with the help of ultrasound imaging as well as measures of before and after the treatment given, were noted by comparing both the groups.
Results: A significant difference between before and after the intervention of the core strengthening exercise given was clearly noted through the statistical analysis of quantitative data. Thus, Experimental study group has high statistical difference than conventional group.
Conclusion: From the result, it has been concluded that core strengthening exercise given to the post operative umbilical hernia patient has shown a good development in the strength of the abdomen muscles around the surgical region and the possibility of hernia recurrence is significantly low compared to the patient who didn't undergo core strengthening exercise program.
