Brief Summary:
this study will be conducted to compare between high power laser and low-intensity laser on ultrasonographic and functional outcomes in patients with knee osteoarthritis
Detailed Description:
Osteoarthritis OA is a major source of pain disability and socioeconomic cost worldwide The epidemiology of the disorder is complex and multifactorial with genetic biological and biomechanical components It is estimated that 63 to 85 percent of Americans over age 65 have radiographic signs of OA and that 35 to 50 percent have symptoms of pain stiffness or limitation of motion Between 9 and 12 percent of elderly Americans approximately 3 million people have enough impairment from OA that they cannot perform their major activities and half of these individuals are totally disabled confined to bed or a wheelchair High power laser therapy HPL that involves higher-intensity laser radiation is a new painless and powerful modality that showed significant results in pain reduction One of the modalities commonly used by clinicians was Low Level Laser Therapy introduced as an alternative safe and non-invasive treatment for OA about 30 years agoA more recent systemic review investigated the effects of low-level and high-intensity laser therapy as adjunctive to rehabilitation exercise on pain stiffness and function in knee osteoarthritis and concluded that Both LLLT and HPL are beneficial as adjuncts to rehabilitation exercise in the management of knee OA Based on an indirect comparison the HPL and exercise seems to have higher efficacy in reducing knee pain and stiffness and in increasing function To confirm this finding a direct comparative investigation of the two types of laser therapy may be necessary ninety patients with knee osteoarthritis will be assigned randomly to three groups the first experimental will receive high power laser plus conventional physical therapy second one will receive low-intensity laser and traditional physical therapy finally the third group will receive traditionally therapy only
