Abstract Purpose. The current study investigated the immediate and short-term effects of Kinesio taping (KT) on deep neck flexor endurance in healthy adults. Methods. The endurance of the deep neck flexor muscles was measured prior to, immediately following, and three days after KT application in a randomized controlled study involving 68 healthy adults who were blindly assigned to study and control groups. The experimental group was the first group, and the control group was the second. Results. Post-application of Kinesio taping in the experimental group showed a significant difference in the endurance score of the deep neck flexor muscles compared to pre-application, while the control group showed no significant difference. Conclusion. This study demonstrates the short-term and immediate benefits of Kinesio taping on the endurance of the deep neck flexor muscles in healthy adults.

Abstract
Purpose of the study. To compare between the effectiveness of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), photobiomodulation(PBMT) and patients receiving routine physical therapy(PT) on tissue viability, pain, and quality of life in older adults with diabetic foot ulcer.
Methods. Forty-five older adults with diabetic foot ulcer (age, 62-70 years) were enrolled into a randomized control trial with parallel group design, assigned into three equal groups; two study groups (ESWT group and PBMT group), and control group (CG). All the groups received the routine PT program, in addition, ESWT group received ESWT and PBMT group received LLLT. Tissue viability, pain, and quality of life (QoL) were assessed pre- and immediately post-treatment.
Results. Non-significant differences in the outcome measures between groups pre-treatment(P > 0.05). Regarding the post-treatment, the study groups showed significant improvements in the study outcome measures (P < 0.001), whereas the control group did not show significant changes (p ˃ 0.05).
Conclusion. ESWT and PBMT produced similar effects on tissue viability, pain, and QoL in older adults with DFU.
