Summary
This study tested whether adding pressure biofeedback training to standard physical therapy helps people recovering from ventral hernia repair. Sixty adults aged 35 to 50 with muscle weakness after surgery took part. One group did standard exercises plus biofeedback, while the other did standard exercises alone. Researchers measured abdominal muscle strength and quality of life before and after 8 weeks of training.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, non-drug way to strengthen abdominal muscles and improve quality of life after hernia surgery.
