Abstract

Purpose: The objective is to assess the impact of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMFT) on the motor conduction velocity of the neuropathic common peroneal nerve after burn injuries throughout the post-hospitalization period. Methods: Forty patients were included in the study; their percentage of total body surface area (TBSA) ranged from 20% to 30%. Their initial diagnosis was a 2nd or 3rd degree burn, and they were found to have peripheral mononeuropathy affecting the common peroneal nerve. The patients' ages ranged from 20 to 35, in addition they were randomly assigned to one of two groups: one to receive conventional physical therapy and the other to receive PEMFT. Each group received 20 minutes of treatment daily for a total of three months. Results: - An improvement in MCV demonstrated that both PEMFT were substantially effective in enhancing nerve functioning. Conclusion: PEMFT demonstrated significant efficacy in enhancing nerve functions, improving mobility, and enhancing physical capabilities of patients with burns, resulting in a rapid restoration of their ability to contribute to society.
