| Popis: | Purpose: to evaluate the effect of Gallium Arsenide laser versus pulsed electromagnetic field on healing of pressure ulcers. Methods of evaluation: - (Measurement of the ulcer surface area (USA), ulcer volume measurement (UVM) and the colony count (CC). Methods: 40 diabetic patients with pressure ulcers grade II, their ages ranged from 40 – 60 years, were divided randomly into two equal groups in number. Group (A) Gallium arsenide (Ga-As) laser group: This group was consisted of 20 patients who received the Gallium arsenide (Ga-As) laser therapy 3 times per week for 2 months in addition to the routine conventional treatment (dressing – manage bacterial contamination – relieve pressure, friction, and shear – remove necrotic debris – correct nutritional deficits). Group (B) PEMFT group: 20 patients who received the Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT) 3 times per week for 2 months in addition to the routine conventional treatment (dressing – manage bacterial contamination – relieve pressure, friction, and shear – remove necrotic debris – correct nutritional deficits). Results: Results showed that both the Ga-As laser and the PEMFT, were significantly effective in improving healing of pressure ulcers as manifested by the highly decreased USA, UVM and CC in both groups. |
