Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Pain Measurements All subjects received equal baseline assessments. An 11-point numeric rating scale NRS was used to assess selfreport of pain intensity at rest. Subjects were required to state a number that indicated their postoperative pain intensity between 0 and 10, where 0 was no pain and 10 was the most intense pain imaginable. This tool has established validity and reliability for measuring acute and postoperative pain. Surface EMG Surface EMG recordings were Done on internal oblique and External oblique muscles of Either side Activity Assessment Scale (AAS) consists of 13 questions that will be summarized and subject has to respond to the question and easy to administer. This scale has got a validity to assess functional outcome for post hernia surgery subjects. Timepoint: Pain Measurements All subjects received equal baseline assessments.
