Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Physical Therapy for Gyncology and Obstetrics Summary: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of faradic stimulation versus specific abdominal exercise on abdominal circumference and percentage of fat in postnatal period. Thirty volunteer females after vaginal delivery by 6 weeks participated in the study. Their age ranged between 25 -35 years and their body mass index ranged from 30{u2013}35 kg/m2. They were selected from New Cairo Hospital, New Cairo.They were randomly subdivided according to enclosed envelop into two equal groups. Group (A) consisted of 15 females who applied faradic stimulation on abdominal region for 30 minutes as well as aerobic exercises through treadmill (60-70% of VO2 max.) for 30 minutes, 3 times per week for 12 sessions; group (B) consisted of 15 females who performed specific abdominal exercises for 30 minutes, 3 times per week for 12 sessions in addition to aerobic exercise as in group (A). The results of this study revealed that there was a statistical significant decrease in the mean values of waist hip ratio, abdominal circumference and trunk fat post treatment in both groups favoring group (A). In addition to a statistical significant increase in the mean values of trunk lean post treatment in both groups favoring group (A). Also, there was no statistical significant difference in the mean values of percentage of body fat post treatment between both groups A and B. So, it could be concluded that the faradic stimulation in conjunction with aerobic exercises was effective to decrease waist hip ratio, abdominal circumference and trunk fat and to increase trunk lean leading to maintain a graceful appearance and self-confidence for female in postnatal period
