Background: Balance disturbance is one of the most common complications of knee osteoarthritis (KOA).Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the impact of neuromuscular training and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) on balance in KOA.
Subjects: 45 patients with unilateral KOA and they were assigned randomly into three equal groups.
Method: Group A received neuromuscular training in addition to ultrasound (US) and moist heat, group B received NMES plus US and moist heat, group C received US and moist heat. Balance was assessed using the Biodex system and pain intensity was assessed by using the visual analogue scale for each patient before and after treatment.
Results: There was a significant difference in balance between all groups with highly significant improvement for group A and there was a significant difference for pain intensity with highly significant improvement for group A.
Conclusion: Neuromuscular training has a higher beneficial effect for treatment of patients with KOA than neuromuscular electrical stimulation .

Objective: the purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare between the effect of application of neuromuscular electrical stimulation and intermittent pneumatic compression on reducing hand edema in stroke patients.Subjects: Thirty stroke patients of both sexes (18 females and 12 males).They assigned randomly into 2 study groups each one composed of 15 patients. Method: Group I received intermittent pneumatic compression therapy and group II received neuromuscular electrical stimulation three times per week for twelve weeks. The patients were assessed for hand volume by using the volumetric measurement and by hand held dynamometer to measure hand grip strength before and after the end of treatment period.
Results : The results of this study revealed that application of intermittent pneumatic compression therapy had a significant effect on reducing hand edema in stroke patients than receiving neuromuscular electrical stimulation .While hand function measured by hand grip strength was improved more significantly with receiving neuromuscular electrical stimulation than the group who received intermittent compression therapy.
Conclusion: Application of intermittent pneumatic compression therapy was more effective in reducing hand edema than neuromuscular electrical stimulation while application of neuromuscular electrical stimulation resulting in greater improvement in hand grip strength and hand function.
