Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: NEUBIEExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Experimental group will receive rehabilitation training with the NEUBIE for 6 weeks post-operative. Training will occur at Neufit 2x a week from week 1-5, and will be administered by NeuFit clinic staff. Exercises and ability to complete exercises will be recorded by NeuFit staff in standardized clinic evaluation forms.
Participants will undergo will undergo both active muscle tests and body analysis tests.
Measurements will be taken at The Piazza Center by clinic staff prior to surgery at 2,4,6,8, and 12 weeks post-operative. Measurements will be used to demonstrate milestones of functional recovery, comparable between subjects by weeks achieved.
Group II: ControlActive Control1 Intervention
Control group will receive current post-operative standard of care for abdominoplasty, which includes using an abdominal binder, rest and minimal activity for 6 weeks.
