Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of combined low intensity laser and magnetic therapy in treatment of Foot pain in diabetic neuropathy patients. Twenty patients of both sexes participated in this
. study. They randomly divided into two equal groups (study and control groups) (ten patients on each). The program consisted of ; IR laser therapy followed by magnetic therapy, The program was conducted three times/ week for six weeks for both groups.
The patients were assessed for pain intensity, active ROM of ankle dorsiflexion and planterflexion, and Rhomberg sign. These measures were recorded pre treatment, and post treatment at the end of six weeks. The results of this study showed significant decrease in pain intensity, improvement of the body stability and increases ankle dorsiflexion and planterflexion of both feet in both groups but there was very high improvement in the patients•of the study group more than the patients in the control group. It can be concluded that this suggested program is effective in decreasing the pain intensity and increasing functional activities in diabetic neuropathic patients with foot pain.
