Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of balance of training on Balance Performance in Obese Patients Undergoing Sleeve Gastrectomy. Design: a single-blind randomized controlled trial. Methods: sixty obese patients after sleeve gastrectomy participated in the study, they were recruited from the police hospital, Egypt; their ages ranged from 20-30 years old. Confidentiality was assured. They were assigned randomly into two groups equally in number; 30 patients each: study group (A) received balance training in addition to their traditional physical therapy program while the control group (B) received a traditional physical therapy program only. All treatments were administered 3 times a week for 4 weeks. A biodex balance system was used to evaluate the anterior-posterior stability index, medial-lateral stability index, and overall stability index, and a visual analog scale was used to assess pain. For the the normality test of data, the Shapiro-Wilk test was performed, for comparison of Age, pain, and anterior-posterior stability index (RT leg) between the two groups, Mann-Whitney test was performed, For comparison of anterior- posterior stability index (LT leg), medial-lateral stability index, overall stability index between the two groups, independent t-test was performed, For comparison between pre-and post-treatment mean values of pain and anterior posterior stability index in each group, Wilcoxon test was performed, For comparing pre and post-treatment mean values of medial-lateral stability index and overall stability index in each group, paired t-test was performed, The arithmetic means as an average description of central tendency of the results, The standard deviation as a mean of dispersion of the results. The alpha level was 0.05. All statistical measures were performed through the statistical package for social studies (SPSS) version 27 for windows. Results: When compared to the pre-treatment condition, the anterior-posterior stability index, medial-lateral stability index, and overall stability index improved and decrease pain in the post-test in groups A and B. There was a statistically significant difference was noted between the mean value of all dependent variables in group A and their corresponding value in group B. Conclusion: Concurrent training was effective and beneficial in improving balance and decreasing pain after sleeve gastrectomy.
