Effect of laser and exercises in venous ulcer: A case report

Abstract

This case report outlines the effect of a low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and exercise regimen on a 59-year-old patient with a venous ulcer. The current case examines the impact of a combination of LLLT and exercise on blood flow and healing in a patient with venous leg ulcer (VLU) brought on by ambulatory venous hypertension due to venous incompetence. Above the left lateral malleolus, the patient had a circular, well-defined raw area covered in pale granulation tissue that was not healing. Wound assessment was done using a two-dimensional method using graph paper. The patient received LLLT therapy and an aerobic exercise regimen, reducing wound size and improving healing. It demonstrates the potential advantages of using LLLT and aerobic exercise to treat venous ulcers.
