“…In the current study, although proprioception (JPS) improved in both groups at final assessment, there was no significant difference between the two groups. On contrary to our findings, no significant differences were obtained after application of MT in patients with MNP between magnetic and control groups, the findings of those authors confirmed existing significant differences between study and control groups [30,55]. The reason for this difference may be that the age of their patients sample within adult group while they are elderly in the current study, also they applied MT in addition other electrical modalities ultrasound and TENS, they referred the improvement in proprioception as additional effects for their application, whereas in the current study MT only was added to patients of magnetic group and the exercise program was applied for two groups.…”

Also, the author determined significant improvements in knee proprioception in 30 athletes aged 18-24 years [55]. The deviation away from the current findings may be due to the differences in the age of his patients' sample was (18-24 years), they are athletes, different pathology knee problem, whereas in the current study all participants were older than 60 years with chronic MNP and not athletes.…”

Background: Mechanical neck pain (MNP) affects all age groups, it has a substantial physical, psychological, and economic impact, especially in elderly. This study aimed to evaluate effect of addition of magnetic therapy (MT) to exercise versus exercise therapy alone on neck pain (NP), proprioception, and balance in elderly patients with chronic MNP. Materials & Methods: 50 elderly patients with chronic MNP were assigned to magnetic group (25 patients who practiced exercise program for 35-40 minutes/session three sessions per week for four weeks in addition exposure to MT for 20 minutes each session three sessions per week for four weeks) and control group (25 patients who practiced only the exercise program). The severity of pain, cervical joint position sense (JPS) and balance performance were measured by using the visual analogue scale (VAS) goniometer and the both single-leg stance time (SLST), and timed up and go (TUG) tests, respectively. ANOVA and Independent t-tests were used to determine significant differences within and between two groups for normal variables, whereas the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used for not normal variables. Results: The results show significant improvements in VAS, SLST (with open and closed eyes), TUG, and JPS after interventions in both groups, p-value <0.05, while addition of MT to exercise program induced only significant differences in VAS, SLST (with open & closed eyes), TUG, except JPS, p-value = 0.002, 0.047 & 0.037, 0.001, and 0.928 respectively, in favor to the magnetic group. Conclusions: Multi-dimensional exercise program is effective in relieving NP and improving balance in elderly with MNP, addition of MT to exercise program could induce superior effects only on pain and balance for elderly patients with MNP.

Purpose. This study was conducted to examine the effect of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on quadriceps muscle strength after burn injury. Methods. From April 2021 to June 2022, sixty male patients who suffered from second degree lower limb thermal burn injury and Total body surface area (TBSA) from 25% to 35% participated in this study. Their ages ranged from (20-40) years. They were randomly assigned in two groups, a study group composed of 30 patients who received (PEMF) over thigh area before strengthening exercise for quadriceps muscle and a control group composed of 30 patients who received strengthening exercise for quadriceps muscle. Patients of both groups received traditional physical therapy program.. Evaluation tool was isokinetic dynamometer to measure the quadriceps muscle peak torque before the treatment and after 8 weeks of treatment for both groups. Results. There was no significant difference between both group (study and control) in mean values of quadriceps peak torque pre-treatment (P > 0.05). There was a significant increase in the mean values of quadriceps peak torque after 8 weeks of treatment in both groups (p < 0.05) while there was a significant difference in post treatment mean values of quadriceps peak torque in the study group when compared with control group (p < 0.05). Conclusion. Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy is an effective modality that can be used for improving muscle strength and performance in patients with lower limb burn when applied prior to strengthening exercise.
