“…The primary outcomes were knee ROM (flexion and extension) and the level of functional abilities. Knee ROM was assessed with patients in a supine position using a digital goniometer (baseline Absolute Axis 0-185 Degrees Digital Goniometer©) and expressed in degrees, which is a reliable and valid method of evaluating joint ROM due to its high accuracy and eliminating the chance of errors by determining the "true" vertical or horizontal distance from a measurement's starting point [16].…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of combined low-level laser therapy (LLL) and rehabilitation in patients following recent total knee replacement (TKR).Methods: A double-blind randomized controlled study was conducted at the Orthopedic Department of Mansoura University Hospital. Forty-four patients were chosen from a total of 58 patients who met the inclusion criteria and were assigned randomly into control and experimental groups of equal size. Ultimately, 40 patients completed the study (20 from each group). Both groups participated in an intensive functional rehabilitation program, and the experimental group also received LLL therapy around the knee at the incisional line, the medial and lateral intra-articular space, above and below the patella, and at the popliteal fossa at low fluence (6 J/cm 2 , 650 nm continuous wave) and 60 s per point with a total dose of 48 J per session over 12 treatment sessions for six weeks. Knee range of motion (ROM) was measured with a digital goniometer, and functional abilities were assessed with the Arabic version of the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis (WOMAC) index.Results: There were significant differences in all variables pre-and post-treatment within each group. Before treatment, there was no significant difference in any of the measured variables between the groups (P>0.05). After treatment, there were significant differences in knee flexion ROM and WOMAC index (P<0.05) but no significant difference in knee extension ROM between the groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:The addition of low-level laser therapy to a rehabilitation program post-TKR resulted in substantial enhancements in knee flexion range of motion and the WOMAC index.

“…In previous studies we already report the presence of skin allergic reaction after taping application, although all precautions, preparations, sensitivity test and even proper KT application was ensured [10][11]. Another observational study of sixty neurological cases revealed that KT can cause Kinesio tape can cause allergies [12].…”

Background and purpose: Kinesio taping is widely used now on pediatric population. Recently, it has been used to promote function, facilitate muscle action and inhibit spasticity of children with cerebral palsy. The aim of this article to highlight an existing problem we faced during the applying of kinesio tape on a child with spastic cerebral palsy which is skin allergy.Methods: Muscle Inhibitory Kinesio tape was applied on the calf muscle of a female child of spastic cerebral palsy, in order to inhibit muscle spasticity.Results: Despite the child had passed the sensitivity test, after 2 kinesio tape applications, a skin allergic reaction appeared. Conclusion:A skin allergy may appear after using the kinesio tape despite passing a pre-application sensitivity test.

Background: Haglund's syndrome is a common painful musculoskeletal condition in adults and increases health problem, causing functional disability in large populations. Aim of Study:The aim of this cross-sectional correlational study was to investigate relationship between pain and ankle mobility in Haglund syndrome.Subjects and Methods: Fourteen subjects with Haglund syndrome were included in this study. Their mean ± SD of age, weight, height, and BMI were 46.29±10.00 years, 68.43±10.66Kg, 170 .64±9.23cm, 23 .36±1.49kg/m 2 respectively. They were referred by orthopedic surgeons with a diagnosis of Haglund's syndrome.All subjects were assessed for ankle dorsiflexion and plantar flexion range of motion using digital goniometer. In addition, subjects in the study were assessed for pain intensity using the Visual Analog Scale (Vas). Correlation between variables in the study group was performed using Pearson's correlation coefficient.Results: There was negative moderate significant correlation between pain and ankle dorsi flexion (r=-0.532, pl).05), while positive moderate non significant correlation with ankle planter flexion. Conclusion:Haglund syndrome has a negative effect on ankle dorsiflexion but doesn't affect plantar flexion. Patients with Haglund syndrome experience more affection in pain.
