• 1 other identifier: Rana H Elbanna
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 100
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

Participants had randomly divided into two equal groups. Group (A) which is the study group will receive photobiomodulation session two times per week for four weeks. Group (B) will be the control group that will receive placebo photobiomodulation two times per week for four weeks.

Conditions

Post Covid-19 Elderly

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• effect of photobiomodulation on fatigability level

  fatigability level will be assessed using fatigability assesment scale

  after one month of the trial application

• effect of photobiomodulation on functional capacity level

  functional capacity state will be assessed using submaximal exercise test (time up and go test)

  after one month of the trial application

Study Arms (2)

Group A

EXPERIMENTAL

the participant will received photobiomodulation session.

Radiation: photobiomodulation

Group B

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

the participant will received placebo photobiomodulation session.

Other: placebo intervention by photobiomodulation device

Interventions

photobiomodulation RADIATION

Photobiomodulation (PBM) describes the use of red or near-infrared light to stimulate, heal, regenerate, and protect tissue that has either been injured, is degenerating, or else is at risk of dying.

Group A

placebo intervention by photobiomodulation device OTHER

placebo intervention while the photobiomodulation device is on the off mode

Group B
