Effect of magnetic therapy in bladder dysfunction and quality of life in paraplegic patients.

Background: Urinary dysfunction is linked to spinal cord injury (SCI). The quality of life (QoL) declines in both neurogenic bladder impairment and non-disordered patients.

Objective: To ascertain the effectiveness of pulsed magnetic therapy on urinary impairment and QoL in individuals with traumatic incomplete SCI.

Effect of cryotherapy in controlling spasticity of calf muscles in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Background: Spasticity is a common symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS), affecting 80% of patients. Many studies have aimed to detect methods to reduce spasticity under these conditions and found that spasticity can be efficiently reduced using cryotherapy.

Objective: To examine the impact of cryotherapy on spasticity among patients with MS.

Effectiveness of a high-intensity laser for improving hemiplegic shoulder dysfunction: a randomized controlled trial.

Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) is a common complication that occurs after stroke and has been reported in up to 84% of hemiplegic patients. One of the recommended treatment options for shoulder pain is high-intensity laser therapy (HILT). This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of high-intensity laser therapy on pain, function and hand grip strength in patients with hemiplegic shoulder dysfunction.

Sensorimotor Training Improves Gait, Ankle Joint Proprioception, and Quality of Life in Patients With Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy: A Single-Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial.

Objective: To investigate the effect of sensorimotor training on gait, ankle joint proprioception, and quality of life in diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients.

Design: A prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled experiment was performed. Forty patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy aged 50-65 yrs were distributed randomly into two groups, the sensorimotor training group ( n = 20), and the control group ( n = 20).

Efficacy of balance exercises intervention on postural control-related impairment in children with sensorineural hearing loss.

Background: Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common type of permanent hearing impairment and results in postural control and motor deficits in children that may affect or delay all developmental indicators.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to investigate the efficacy of balance exercises intervention on postural control-related impairment in children with sensorineural hearing loss.

Methods: Forty students of both genders, ages ranging from 10 to 16 years, diagnosed with severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss, were selected from the Public School for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing in El-Minia district, Minia governorate, Egypt.
