Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Conditions
Brief summary
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
Detailed description
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
Interventions
DEVICEpulsed magnetic field
Children in this group received pulsed magnetic therapy in addition to traditional exercise program
DEVICELow level laser
Children in this group received low level laser therapy in addition to traditional exercise program

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Swelling | 3 months | We used Tape Measurement to measure Swelling |
| Sensation of Pain | 3 months | we used Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to measure pain. the scale ranged from 0 to 10. ( 0 means no pain and 10 means maximum pain |
| Range of motion | 3 months | we used digital geniometer to measure range of motion |
