Subjects and methods: Thirty women participated in this study. They had post natal De Quervain`s syndrome (De Quervain’s tenosynovitis); (+ve finkelstein's test) with moderate pain on VAS (visual analogue scale). They were chosen from outpatient clinic of faculty of physical therapy Cairo University. Their ages were ranged from 22 to 35 years old. They were divided randomly into two groups equal in number, group (A) was treated by sodium diclofenac phonophoresis 5 min, 0.5 w/cm2, 3MHZ with continuous mode, 3 times/ week for one week while group (B) was treated by kinesio tape with 25-50 % of available tension on the two stretched tendons of the first dorsal compartment (using space correction technique) 3 times/week for one week. Pain and grip muscle strength were evaluated before, immediately post treatment after one week and follow up after another one week without any intervention for both groups. Results: The obtained results showed a statistically significant decrease in pain and increase in grip muscle strength in both groups, when both groups were compared together, there was no statistically significant difference in pain, palmer and key grip strength between the two studied groups but there was a statistically significant increase in tip strength in group (A) than group(B). Conclusion: we recommend using these two modalities as a new, effective and safe treatment for post natal de quervain syndrome.","PeriodicalId":364499,"journal":{"name":"South Valley University International Journal of Physical Therapy and Sciences","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124563787","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ) was used to survey the physical therapists’ musculoskeletal disorders, also Ovako Working Posture Assessment System (OWAS) was applied to evaluate, analyze and categorize the repeated work postures in 130 physical therapists. OWAS method was processed using WinOWAS software, involving 16 work postures. The collected data statistically analyzed using Excel and SPSS. Results: NMQ indicated that 72% of physical therapists complained MSDs in at least one part of the nine determined body parts during the last 12 months. The most common disorders were lower back pain (75%), neck (65%) and shoulder pain (58%). Standing for long periods were very strongly correlated with lower back pain and strongly correlated with lower limbs with r = 0.84 and 0.79 respectively. Results of OWAS classified 8 postures (59%) in category 1 with 77 frequencies, 7 postures (35%) categorized 2 with 46 frequencies and one posture (5%) categorized 3 with 7 frequencies. Conclusion: The dominant prevalence pains were in the lower back, neck and shoulders. OWAS work posture 4222 (category 3) were highly significant with lower back and upper limbs MSDs, it was partially correlated with neck MSDs. Meanwhile, work posture 2222 and 2221 (category 2) were significantly correlated with lower back, upper limbs and neck MSDs.","PeriodicalId":364499,"journal":{"name":"South Valley University International Journal of Physical Therapy and Sciences","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127385537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Subjects and methods: Fifty patients (two groups) participated in this study. Group (A); consists of 25 patients (5 males, 20 females), with mean age 57 years, treated with TUS plus exercises. Group (B); consists of 25 patients (8 males, 17 females), with mean age 54 years, treated with DSPH plus exercises. Each patient was assessed for knee pain intensity level and physical function using the WOMAC score and knee flexion ROM using the digital inclinometer pretreatment, posttreatment and follow up one month after treatment. Results: There were non-significant differences among group (A) for WOMAC score, and significant only at posttreatment and follow up compared to pretreatment for group (B) (P- value <0.003*). Significant differences between posttreatment compared to pretreatment and follow up among group (A) for knee flexion ROM (P- value <0.03*), and significant only between post and pretreatment for group (B) (P- value = 0.000*). However, there was no significant difference between groups neither at posttreatment nor at follow up. Conclusion: DSPH had improvement but not significant in pain intensity level, physical function, and knee flexion ROM posttreatment but it had no superior effect on TUS. Knee flexion ROM improved significantly posttreatment in both groups, but only in PH the improvement sustained for one month after treatment. PH had long term effect than TUS.","PeriodicalId":364499,"journal":{"name":"South Valley University International Journal of Physical Therapy and Sciences","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125674179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
