Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Physical Therapy for Gynecology and Obstetrics Summary: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of ultrasound cavitation versus abdominal exercises on post menopausal abdominal fat. Subjects: Sixty obese women with abdominal fat, their age ranged from (50-65) years, their BMI (30-35kg/m2), WHR ranged between (0.81 to 1.0). They were selected from outpatient clinic of physical therapy department in Egyptian Radio and TV Union. They were randomly divided into two equal groups. Group (A) consisted of 30 women who received ultrasound cavitation two sessions per week in addition to low-caloric diet (1200 kcal/day) for eight weeks, Group (B) consisted of 30 women who received abdominal exercises two sessions per week in addition to the same low-caloric diet (1200 kcal/day) for eight weeks. All women in both groups (A&B) were evaluated by measuring (BMI,WHR and Skin Fold Thickness) before and after the study period. Results: The results of this study showed highly statistically significant decrease in the mean values of BMI, WHR and Skin Fold Thickness in both groups, However the results were in the favor of abdominal exercises group. Conclusion: From the previous results, it could be concluded that both ultrasound cavitation and abdominal exercises combined with low-caloric diet were effective in reducing of BMI, WHR and skin fold thickness, however the abdominal exercises combined with low-caloric diet caused more improvement than ultrasound cavitation
