Brief Summary

This study will be conducted to compare aerobic and resistance exercises on disability after abdominal myomectomy.

Conditions

Myomectomy

Keywords

aerobic exercises; resistance exercises; disability; abdominal myomectomy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• functional disability

  Functional Independence Measure Scale was used to assess functional disability. it includes 18 items divided into two domains: Motor tasks (13 items) and cognitive tasks (5 items). score (1-7) to each of the 18 items based on the patient's observed performance.-Total FIM score range: 18 (complete dependence) to 126 (complete independence).

  up to 12 weeks

• pain intensity

  Visual analogue scale consisted of a line, usually 100mm long, the patient was instructed to place a vertical mark on to indicate his pain, ranging from no pain or discomfort (0), to the worst pain (100) that the patient could feel

  up to 12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• rectus abdominal muscle strength

  up to 12 weeks

Study Arms (2)

aeropic exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

Thirty patients who have undergone abdominal myomectomy will receive resisted exercises program for, 3 sessions per week for 12 weeks in addition to the routine medical treatment

Other: aeropic exercises

Resistance Exercises

EXPERIMENTAL

thirty patients who have undergone abdominal myomectomy will receive aerobic exercises program for, 3 sessions per week for 12 weeks in addition to the routine medical treatment

Other: resistance exercises

Interventions

aeropic exercises OTHER

* Treadmill Walking: will begin at a low speed and incline, progressing gradually based on endurance. * Stationary Cycling: Low resistance cycling, will focus on steady, rhythmic pedaling. * Step Aerobics: Low-impact stepping movements to music, with a focus on maintaining proper posture. * The workload was increased incrementally by adjusting: Speed (walking/cycling pace), Resistance (stationary cycling or water exercises), Duration (gradually increasing from 20 to 30 minutes for the main session), Intensity progression was based on the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) or patient-reported effort, ensuring safe advancement.

aeropic exercises

resistance exercises OTHER

The patient will be prepared with preparatory explanations about each tool will be utilized i.e., sand bags, thera Bands, and swiss ball.Twelve exercises will be utilized for 12 weeks, three sessions/ week. The intervention will be applied by a trained physical therapist. First of all, each participant will be instructed to relax thighs, bottom and abdomen musculature.Each participant will be able to do 10 slow contractions each time, holding them for 10 seconds each with rests of 4 seconds in between. Then do not hold your breath or tighten rectus abdominis muscles at the same time. Will instruct participants to try holding each squeeze for a few seconds utilizing sand bags, thera band, and swiss balls.

Resistance Exercises
