Abstract
Background and Purpose. Despite the well-known benefits of whole body vibration and pulsed magnetic field on bone density in spastic diplegic children, none of the former studies had evaluated the difference between both techniques on bone density in spastic diplegic children. Therefore the aim of this study was to evaluate the difference between whole body vibration and pulsed magnetic field during the application of a selected exercises program on bone density in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Materials and Methods. Thirty spastic diplegic children participated in this study. They were classified randomly into two groups of equal numbers, group A and group B. DEXA was used to evaluate bone density and muscle lean in the two groups before and after three successive months of application of the treatment programs. Group A received whole body vibration and selected exercises program. Group B received the same exercises program given to group A plus pulsed magnetic field. Results. Comparing The pre-treatment results revealed non significant difference in all the measuring variables between the two groups. In comparing the pre and post-treatment results for both groups revealed significant improvement in all measured variables. Post treatment results between two groups show no difference. Conclusion. It can be concluded that, whole body vibration and pulsed magnetic field can be considered as an effective modality in improving bone mineral density and can be used safely in the treatment program of spastic diplegic cerebral palsied children.

Abstract
Objectives. Postmenopausal osteoporosis, a major public health problem worldwide, is associated with low quality of life, morbidity, significant mortality and huge socio-economic burden. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of bioptron light therapy on postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Methods. Thirty postmenopausal women with hip osteoporosis, aged 50-60 years, were randomized into 2 equal groups. Group (A) received medical treatment in the form of calcium, vitamin D3 and sodium fluoride supplementation for 4 weeks (n = 15), while group (B) received the same medical treatment in addition to bioptron light therapy for 4 weeks (n = 15). The primary outcome was total hip T–score, while the secondary outcome was total score of Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis (QUALEFFO-41). The outcome measures were evaluated pre- and post-treatment.
Results. Comparing both groups pre- and post-treatment revealed that there was a statistically non-significant difference in total hip T–score (P > 0.05). Also, total score of QUALEFFO-41 revealed a statistically non-significant difference pre-treatment (P > 0.05), while post-treatment, it revealed a statistically significant reduction (P < 0.05) in favour of group (B). The percentages of improvement post-treatment in total hip T–score and total score of QUALEFFO-41 were 2.4% and 15.65% in group (A), while they were 11.29% and 31.63% in group (B).
Conclusions. Bioptron light therapy is effective in treating postmenopausal women with hip osteoporosis through producing a greater improvement percentage in total hip T–score and improving their quality of life.
