Details and patient eligibility

About

the aim of the study is comparing the effects of LLLT and PEMFT on range of motion of elbow and radioulnar joint ,pain ,muscles strength of upper limb and hand function in children with post-operative type II and III supracondylar humeral fracture.

Full description

intervention study describe the effects of low level laser and pulsed electromagnetic field in children with supracondylar humeral fracture . All children will be randomly classified by envelope method into two study groups of equal number. study group A and study group B. Both groups will receive designed physical therapy program, 20 minutes, 3 times per week for six weeks in addition to study group A will receive LLLT, 5 minutes and study group B will receive the same physical therapy program, in addition to PEMF, 20 minutes.

Enrollment: 40 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 6 to 10 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
