Background Radial Shock wave Therapy (rSWT) is one of the recent promising modalities that can effectively improve muscle tone, ROM, and enhance functional capacity. It can be used to augment the rehabilitation effectiveness in spastic CP children. So, enhance their engagement in community and participation in social activities and decrease economi...

Purpose: The main aim of the trial was to assess the effectiveness of inspiratory muscle training on respiratory muscle strength, functional capacity, fatigue, and stress in post-surgical breast cancer survivors. Methods: Forty-seven females who had undergone unilateral post-mastectomy were randomly assigned to an intervention group (IG; n = 24) an...

Objectives. Although musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are one of the most significant issues facing physiotherapists globally, little is known about their characteristics among those practicing in Taif City, Saudi Arabia. This study examined the prevalence, work-related variables, and physiotherapists' responses to work related musculoskeletal disor...

Objective. The objective of this study was to explore the mediators (pain self-efficacy, pain catastrophizing, back pain beliefs) of Pain Neuroscience Education (PNE) on disability for patients with chronic low back pain (LBP) in Saudi Arabia (SA). Methods. An observational multisite pre-post study design was utilized. This study was done at the Ph...

Introduction. Pain in the lower back has gained considerable attention within the medical community because of its major socioeconomic impact. Misconceptions and myths are widespread in many communities, especially in developing countries, which affects the prognosis of LBP. Aim of the study. The major goal of this study was to investigate the curr...

Introduction and objectives. A flat foot may significantly cause impairment of an individual's ability, ligamentous laxity, pronated foot, equines foot deformity, tibial torsional deformity, andthe presence of the accessory navicular bone. This study aims to evaluate the effect of the short foot exercise (SFE) on foot posture (pronated foot), foot...

Background Background: The foot and ankle are important structures in the skeletal system of the human body. Deviation in normal structure of the foot,such as in flat foot deformity, can lead to many health problems. Our study aimed to explore the prevalence of flexible flat foot (FFF) among school-age female students in the Ha'il region, Saudi Ara...

Introduction: This review analysed the efficiency of low-level laser therapy in treating breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) in women. Material and methods: Databases such as Scopus, PEDro, PubMed, Co-chrane, and Web of Science were searched for RCTs using low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photo-bio modulation therapy (PBMT) on BCRL published b...

Objective This systematic review analyzed the recently available information regarding the efficacy of rigid taping in alleviating pain and improving functional status in subacromial impingement syndrome. Introduction Rigid taping is commonly utilized in the rehabilitation of subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). It is proposed to have positive e...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of high vs. low-intensity exercise training on muscle strength, physical function, and quality of life in post-COVID-19 patients with sarcopenia secondary to chronic kidney disease (CKD). PATIENTS AND METHODS: 82 subjects were randomized into 2 groups: high intensity (HIG, n=42), whi...

Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of smartphones addiction, and to investigate the relationship between smartphones addiction and functional neck disability among the students of Taif University during a Covid-19 pandemic. Methods: A 1060 students from Taif University participated in this study. The smartphones addiction was e...

Introduction: Introduction: Kinesiotaping is a typical method used in physical therapy. It has the potential to boost muscle strength and performance when used properly The aim of the study is to determine the immediate effect of 35% tension Kinesiotaping on handgrip strength in healthy males. Methods: Methods: The study involved 60 healthy males (...

Introduction. As one of the highly prevalent musculoskeletal disorders, low back pain incurs high medical care costs. Proprio-ceptive neuromuscular facilitation has been used in treating chronic low back pain. This study aimed to investigate the effects of multiple proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques on endurance of the trunk muscu...

Objective: The study's goal was to determine the impact of isometric back endurance exercises on pain, function and trunk extensor muscles endurance. Methods: Total 60 male patients of ranging in age between 20 to 40 years ago were afflicted with chronic nonspecificlow back pain were divided into two groups, each with an equal number of participant...

Lateral epicondylitis (LE), is one of the most common causes of elbow and forearm pain encountered in clinical practice. Different treatment modalities have been described in the literatures, including different taping techniques. Previous studies have been investigated only the short term effects of different taping techniques on pain and grip str...

The aim of the study was to assess the total joint health score (TJHS) in children with hemophilia and, determine the effect of the selected therapeutic exercises in improving it. Methods: Forty male children with hemophilia participated in this study. They were assigned randomly into two equal groups: study& control groups. Their age ranged from 8...
