The Effects of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy and Hand Therapy on Abdominal Obesity in Woman
Kyungjin Lee, Sooyeon Oh
Abstract
The interest in abdominal obesity management is increasing as an indicator of metabolic syndrome that boosts the risk of chronic disease occurrence. The study examined 45 middle-aged women between aged 35 to 59 years (living in Gyeongnam, Busan) with BMI 23kg/m2, WHR 0.80, and Waist Circumference 80cm. We conducted the experiment from Feb.1, 2016 to May 31, 2016, twice a week, 12 times in total, to find out the effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy and hand therapy on the BMI, abdominal size, abdominal obesity rate, and blood index of the participants. A statistical analysis using the SPSS 20.0 program showed a significant difference in the two groups before and after the therapy, for example, body mass index (F=8.205, p<0.001), BMI (F=7.460, p<0.001), abdominal obesity rate (F=4.841, p=0.005), and waist size (F=148.111, p<0.001). While there was no significant difference between the groups, the blood index illustrates a significant result in decreasing the level of triglycerides (t=3.686, p=0.001) by extracorporeal shock wave therapy. We hope that the study on machine and hand therapy will provide the basic data for the effective abdominal o obesity management in the medical field.
