Effect of Pulsed Magnetic Field Versus Low Level Laser Therapy on Functional Performance in Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Effect of Pulsed Magnetic Field Versus Low Level Laser Therapy on Functional Performance in Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

the purpose of this study is to compare between the effect of pulsed magnetic field versus low level laser therapy on functional performance in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

This study directed to investigate effect of pulsed magnetic field versus low level laser therapy on functional performance in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis suffer from some problems such as pain, swelling and limited motion in knee joints here in this study i used these devices to help in solving these problems pain was measured by visual analogue scale swelling was measured by tape measurement and Range of motion was measured by digital geniometre
