Abstract

Background. Burns are one of the most common injuries in pediatric population, gram-positive bacteria is the main pathogens responsible for wound infection that is the leading cause of morbidity and sometimes mortality in growing children with burn. Low level laser is a new treatment option that is increasingly used in the field of wound healing. Aim. To investigate the effect of He-Ne laser on gram-positive bacteria and healing time of deep second-degree pediatric burn. Methods. Thirty children of both genders aged from 2 to 9 years old with 2nd degree upper limb burn infected with gram-positive bacteria participated in this study. They were randomly assigned into two equal groups; either the control group (group A) received systematic antibiotic and 10 minutes’ placebo laser light, or the laser group (group B) received 632 nm laser light, 6 J/cm2 scanning technique for 10 minutes. All patients received regular wound care (dressing). The study protocol was once a day, 3 times / week for one month. Pre and post-treatment evaluation of wound culture and the healing time was recorded for both groups. Results. Wound culture of all children in both groups were negative after two weeks of the study and wound healing time was significantly shorter in the laser group (14.6±5.7 days) than the control group (27±7.3 days). Conclusion. He-Ne laser is an effective option of treatment for 2nd-degree pediatric burn as it has a bactericidal effect on gram-positive bacteria and accelerates wound healing process significantly.

Abstract
Background and purpose. Children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy have impairments in fine motor skills above and beyond their unilateral impairments. The current study was conducted to compare the effect of hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy (HABIT) versus shock wave therapy on the affected upper extremity in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Materials and methods. Thirty hemiplegic children ranged in age from 4 to 8 years with hand spasticity ranged between 1 and 1+ grades according to the Modified Ashworth Scale participated in this study. They were assigned randomly into two equal study groups. Group A received a designed physical therapy program and shock wave therapy one session 2000 shock, while the group B received the same physical therapy program in addition to bimanual arm therapy. Both groups received treatment sessions three times per week for three successive moths. Each child in the two groups was evaluated before and after the suggested treatment duration for detecting the level of hand performance using the Peabody Developmental Test of Motor Proficiency while, hand grip strength by a hand held dynamometer and active abduction and external rotation range of motion were measured by a standard universal goniometer. Results. The results revealed non-significant differences when comparing the pre-treatment mean values of all measuring variables for the two groups (p > 0.05), while significant improvement was observed in the two groups when comparing their pre and post treatment mean values. Also, significant differences were observed when comparing the post treatment results of the two groups in favor of the group B (p < 0.05). Conclusion. The results suggested that, hand-arm bimanual intensive therapy appears to have a positive impact on hand function in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG1A3652

Abstract
Purpose. Hypertrophic scar (HTS) is one of the common post-burn complications that lead to functional and cosmetic impairments, so we pursued to examine efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) on HTS in expression of improving scar thickness and appearance. Materials and Methods. 60 patients with post burn HTS were recruited in this trial and divided randomly into 3 equal groups. Group A: received focus ESWT (100 shock waves per cm2, 0.037 mJ/mm2, 4 Hz, 2 times/week for six weeks) plus traditional topical medication (MEBO Scaro cream). Group B: received radial ESWT (500 shock waves per cm2, 0.13 mJ/mm2, 6 Hz, 2 times/week for six weeks) plus MEBO Scaro cream. Group: received only MEBO Scaro cream. Ultrasonography was utilized for scar thickness measurement and scar characteristics assessment was done by Modified Vancouver Scar Scale (MVSS). All measures were gathered before the start of the study, and after termination of the trial (after 6 weeks). Results. Both focus and radial ESWT showed significant advance in scar thickness and MVSS post treatment (p > 0.001), without statistical differences between them (p > 0.05), while group C showed only a significant diminution in MVSS post treatment (p > 0.001), without any change in scar thickness. Conclusion. Higher statistical results were achieved with both focus and radial ESWT without any side effects, confirming the safety and efficiency of ESWT in HTS management.

Abstract
Background. In obstetric practice, advanced maternal age such as in case of elderly primigravida is known to be associated with adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Obesity is a commonly occurring risk factor with advancing maternal age. Exercise in pregnancy could prevent and limit adverse maternal and fetal morbidities. Further research was warranted to study the effect of exercise in this high risk group due to lack of research in this area. Objective. To investigate the effect of a specialized exercise program combined with diet conducted early in pregnancy on maternal and neonatal outcomes in obese elderly primigravida. Methods. Design: A randomized, clinical, controlled trial. Setting: The study was conducted at physical therapy Department of Bab El-Sharia University Hospital, Egypt, between May 2016 and May 2017. Participants: 80 obese elderly primigravida participants enrolled into experimental and control groups. Interventions: The experimental group participants were closely supervised to perform the exercise program starting from 14 weeks’ gestation till 37 weeks’ gestation with a moderate restricted diet and received advice specific to each trimester of pregnancy, while the control group participants were provided with specific instructions to perform the exercise program with the same diet and advice. Outcome measures: Primary outcome measure was the last BMI of each participant measured at 37 weeks of gestation while the secondary outcome measures were mode of delivery, neonatal weight and neonatal APGAR score. Results. Eighty obese elderly primigravida (control group n = 40; experimental group n = 40) were randomized. There were statistical significant differences between groups in last BMI, mode of delivery and neonates APGAR scores at 1st minute of life and 5th minute of life (p < 0.05). While, there was no statistical significant difference between groups in neonatal weight (p > 0.05). Conclusion: A specialized antenatal exercise program is very effective in decreasing maternal and neonatal complications in obese elderly primigravidae and their off springs.

Abstract
Background. Menopause causes reduction in bone strength. Wearing shoes with different heights in old women, affecting their performance while they’re working either in erect position or in 90˚ trunk flexion or complete trunk flexion. Purpose. This study was designed to investigate the effect of different heel height shoes on spinal configuration in osteoporotic post menopausal women, in different trunk positions. Methods. This study was carried out upon 40 post menopausal osteoporotic women who were selected from faculty of physical therapy wearing different shoes: flat, sneakers and 3cm heel height.Their mean age was, 49.05 ± 2.14 (years), mean body mass 79.02 ± 7.7 (kg), mean height 163.06 ± 6.17 (cm), and mean body mass index BMI 29.57 ± 1.9 (kg/m2). The spinal angle deviation was measured between 2 definite vertebrae while wearing different heel height and comparing it with the spine deviation using flat shoes. The changes in the spine position were recorded for (flat shoes, sneakers and 3cm heel height shoes) during erect position, flexion trunk 90 degrees and complete flexion trunk by the spinal mouse device. The spinal angle deviation was measured in 4 levels T1–T2, T7–T8, T12–L1, L5–S1 levels. Result. There was a significant effect of different trunk position on deviation of spinal angle. At the level of T1-T2, there was a significant difference in the mean value of spinal angle between the 3 positions using sneakers and 3 cm heel shoes. At the level of T7–T8,there was a significant difference in the mean values of spinal angle between the 3 positions using flat shoes, sneakers and 3 cm heel shoes. At level of T12–L1, there was a significant difference between the mean values of spinal angle while wearing 3 types of shoes, flat shoes, sneakers, 3 cm heel, from 90˚ trunk flexion and a significant difference in the mean value of spinal angle between the 3 positions using flat shoes, sneakers and 3 cm heel shoes. At the level of L5–S1, there was a significant difference between the mean values of spinal angle of the 3 types of shoe, at erect position and significant difference in the mean value of spinal angle between the 3 positions using flat shoes, sneakers and 3 cm heel shoes. Conclusion. At level of T1– T2 and T7–T8, as the trunk flexion increases the spinal angle deviation decrease. At T12– L1 level, when flexion 90˚ the flat shoes is the best, followed by the 3 cm heel height. At the level of L5–S1 at erect position the flat is the best,followed by the 3 cm heel height.
