Adjunctive effect of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on quadriceps muscle strength after burn injury

Purpose. This study was conducted to examine the effect of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy on quadriceps muscle strength after burn injury. Methods. From April 2021 June 2022, sixty male patients who suffered from second degree lower limb thermal injury and Total body surface area (TBSA) 25% 35% participated in this study. Their ages ranged (20-40) years. They were randomly assigned two groups, a group composed 30 received (PEMF) over thigh before strengthening exercise for control muscle. Patients both groups traditional physical program.. Evaluation tool isokinetic dynamometer measure peak torque treatment 8 weeks groups. Results. There no significant difference between (study control) mean values pre-treatment (P > 0.05). increase (p < 0.05) while there post when compared with Conclusion. Pulsed is an effective modality that can be used improving performance applied prior exercise.
