Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of reactive neuromuscular training (RNT) on falling in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).Subjects: Thirty male and female patients were selected, their ages ranged from 50-60 years. They were randomly divided into two equal groups: Control and study.
Methods: Balance was evaluated by Biodex balance system (BBS), falling was assessed by the Unified Parkinson Rating Scale (UPDRS), step length, velocity, and cadence were also assessed by motion analysis system and finally, muscle EMG activity for rectus abdominus and erector spinae were recorded before and after the study period. Both groups received conventional physical therapy program. In addition, the study group received RNT and balance training by Biodex multi-joint system (BMJS) and BBS respectively.
Results: There was significant improvement in the test parameters in the study group after treatment compared to that of the control group (p<0.01).
Conclusion: Reactive neuromuscular training is considered a new useful and effective modality in preventing falling in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the influence of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT) on functional recovery in Erb' palsy.Design: Randomized controlled trial. Subjects: Thirty patients were included (16 males and 14 females) with age ranged from six to twelve months (mean=7.3±1.1).
Methods: Children were divided randomly into two equal groups, control and experimental. Both groups received a physiotherapy training program; in addition, the study group received PEMFT for 30 min. Treatment regimen was once a day, three times/ week for three months. Measurements of the affected upper extremity (length, girth and width, muscle strength and range of motion) were carried out before and after treatment.
Results: There was significant improvement in most of the measured test parameters in the study group compared to those of the control group. Conclusion: Pulsed electromagnetic therapy, in conjunction with conventional therapy program, was effective in improving functional recovery in children with Erb's palsy.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of reciprocating gait orthosis (RGO) on standing balance in children with spastic diaplegic. Subjects: Twenty spastic diaplegic children were included (14 boys and 6 girls), with age ranged from five to seven years. Methods: Children were divided randomly into two equal groups; experimental and control groups. The experimental group was subjected to physiotherapy training program with the use of RGO while the control group received only the physiotherapy program. Patients from both groups had the treatment once a day, three times a week for ten weeks. The measurements of the confidence ellipse width, confidence ellipse height, confidence ellipse angle, confidence ellipse area, horizontal and vertical deviations of centre of gravity (COG) were performed before and after the treatment to assess standing balance with open and closed eyes by means of stabilometric platform. Results: There were significant improvements in some measured test parameters in children of the experimental group compared to those of the control group. Conclusion: Reciprocating gait orthosis was effective in improving standing balance in children with spastic diaplegic cerebral palsy.Keywords
