简要总结
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.
详细描述
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.

结局指标
主要结局
Range of motion measurement
时间窗: six weeks post intervention
The 2- in-1 Digital Angle Ruler goniometer will be used to assess elbow and radio-ulnar joint ROM (flexion-extension -supination and pronation) pre and post treatment in both groups
pain measurement
时间窗: six weeks post intervention.
Numerical pain rating scale will be used to assess elbow pain intensity pre and post treatment in both groups.
次要结局
- Hand function(six weeks post intervention)
