Brief Summary

the purpose of this study is to compare between the effect of pulsed magnetic field versus low level laser therapy on functional performance in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

Conditions

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Swelling

  We used Tape Measurement to measure Swelling

  3 months

• Sensation of Pain

  we used Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) to measure pain. the scale ranged from 0 to 10. ( 0 means no pain and 10 means maximum pain

  3 months

• Range of motion

  we used digital geniometer to measure range of motion

  3 months
