    Abstract Background: Forward head posture (FHP) decreases the neck position sense and creates tension in the neck muscles, which inversely affects the mechanics of the distal joints through body myofascia. Thus, this study investigated the effects of FHP on neck and ankle joint position sense, and conducted a comparison between the joint position sense of the right and left ankle.
    Methods: Fifty-seven subjects were assigned according to the craniovertebral angle (CVA) into the FHP group (CVA <49°; n = 27) or the control group (CVA >49°; n = 30). Head and ankle joint repositioning accuracy was measured by using a cervical range-of-motion device and an isokinetic dynamometer, respectively.
    Results: There was a significant increase in the joint position error (JPE) of the cervical flexion, extension, and right and left side bending motions of the FHP group compared to the control group (P < .05). There were significant increases in the JPE of the right and left ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the FHP group compared to the healthy group (P < .05). Moreover, the JPE of the right ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion of the FHP group were significantly higher than the left ankle (P < .05).
    Conclusions: The FHP decreases the position sense of cervical flexion, extension, and right and left side bending motions, and the plantarflexion and dorsiflexion of both ankle joints, especially the right ankle joint.

    Abstract Background: The relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) is the most common type of MS with prevalence rate 20-60 patients/100.000 individuals in Egypt. Poor postural control and cognitive dysfunctions are well-established complications of RRMS without potent remedy yet. The latest evidence highlighted the potential and independent immune-modulating effects of vitamin D
    Objective: To investigate the efficacy of broadband ultraviolet B radiation (UVBR) versus moderate loading dose of vitamin D
    Design: Pretest-posttest randomized controlled study.
    Setting: Multiple sclerosis outpatient unit of Kasr Al-Ainy Hospital.
    Participants: Forty-seven patients with RRMS were recruited from both genders, yet only 40 completed the study.
    Interventions: Patients were randomized into two groups: UVBR group involved 24 patients, received sessions for 4 weeks and vitamin D
    Main outcome measures: Overall balance system index (OSI) and symbol digit modalities test (SDMT).
    Results: Highly significant decrease (P < 0.001) of the OSI in both groups post-treatment, indicating improved postural control. Moreover, highly significant improvement in the SDMT scores was noted, indicating information processing speed enhancement. Nonetheless, no statistically significant (P ≥ 0.05) differences were evident between the two groups post-treatment in all tested measures.
    Conclusion: Both therapeutic programs were statistically equal in improving postural control and cognitive functions. However, clinically, UVBR therapy was more convenient owing to its shorter treatment time and higher percentage of change for all tested measures.

    Abstract Study aim: This study compared the body balance and neck angle differences in children when carrying a traditional backpack versus a double-sided bag. Material and methods: By using the Biodex balance system and a three dimensional motion analysis system, the postural bal­ance and neck angles were assessed in 33 school children while carrying a traditional backpack or a double-sided bag, weigh­ing 15% of body weight. Results: The overall and anteroposterior stability indices were significantly higher when carrying a traditional backpack com­pared to no load and a double-sided bag (p < 0.05). The mediolateral stability index was significantly higher when carrying the traditional backpack and the double-sided bag compared to no load (p < 0.05). The craniohorizontal angle was significantly greater, and the craniovertebral angle and sagittal shoulder posture were significantly lesser when carrying the traditional back­pack compared to no load and the double-sided bag conditions (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Carrying the double-sided bag restores the body balance and head posture to a condition that is similar to the no load condition.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate the immediate and post-treatment effect of magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) iontophoresis on myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) in the upper fibres of the trapezius muscle.
    Method: Sixty participants (41 women and 19 men, aged 19-24 years) with active MTrPs on the dominant upper fibres of trapezius were enrolled in this study. They were randomly divided into 2 equivalent groups: the intervention and the control group. The intervention group (iontophoresis group;
    Results: The differences within and between groups were measured using a mixed design, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). The within- and between-group analysis of all outcome measures in both groups revealed significant differences in favour of the intervention group (
    Conclusion: MgSO4 iontophoresis is effective in improving pain level, neck ROM, and neck function immediately after the first session and causes more significant improvement after treatment in subjects with active MTrPs on the dominant upper fiber of trapezius.

    Abstract Background: Carrying the school bag may lead to forward leaning of the head and trunk which may result in spinal deformities.
    Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of carrying a backpack on neck angles and ground reaction forces (GRFs) in children.
    Methods: 3-D motion analysis system, with a force plate, was used to examine the effect of carrying backpack on neck angles and GRFs of thirty children with mean age (10.06 ± 1.31 years), mean weight (34.56 ± 6.9 kg), and mean height (138.63 ± 9.82 cm). The unloaded posture was compared with posture when carrying a backpack. The static test was used to assess the three angles of the neck, and the dynamic test was used to assess the GRFs.
    Results: There were no significant differences in the craniohorizontal angle and shoulder sagittal posture between carrying backpack and without backpack (p = 0.153 and 0.272) respectively. There was a significant decrease in the craniovertebral angle in carrying backpack than without backpack (p = 0.032). There was a significant increase in GRFs values in carrying backpack than without backpack (p < 0.032).
    Conclusion: Carrying backpack with a load 7.5% of the child's body weight alters the head posture and GRFs values.

    Abstract [Purpose] To examine the effect of physiotherapy rehabilitation program on moderate knee osteoarthritis in patients with different pain intensities. [Subjects and Methods] Sixty subjects (37 men and 23 women) with moderate knee osteoarthritis participated in the current study. Randomization software was used to select the participating subjects' numbers from the clinic records. They were classified into three groups according to pain intensity: mild, moderate, and severe pain groups. All groups underwent a standard set of pulsed electromagnetic field, ultrasound, stretching exercises, and strengthening exercises. Pain intensity, knee range of motion, knee function, and isometric quadriceps strength were evaluated using the visual analogue scale, universal goniometer, Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index, and Jamar hydraulic dynamometer, respectively. The evaluation was performed before and after a 4-week rehabilitation program. [Results] All groups showed significant differences in pain intensity, knee range of motion, isometric quadriceps strength, and knee function. The score change in moderate pain group was significantly greater than those in mild and severe pain groups. [Conclusion] Pain intensity is one of the prominent factors that are responsible for the improvement of knee osteoarthritis. Consequently, pain intensity should be considered during rehabilitation of knee osteoarthritis.

    Abstract Background: Further research on pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) effects on the different conditions of low back pain was warranted due to lack of studies in this area.
    Objectives: To investigate the effects of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy with 50Hz frequency, with low intensity of 20Gauss compared to conventional non-invasive treatment modalities in patients with chronic non-specific low back pain.
    Methods: Design - A prospective, randomized, patient-blinded, controlled trial. Setting - The study was conducted at Outpatient Physiotherapy Clinic in Cairo, Egypt. The study was conducted between May 2015 and September 2016. Participants - Fifty participants with non-specific low back pain enrolled into experimental and control groups. Interventions - The experimental group received the Conventional physical therapy Protocol as well as magnetic field, while the control group received the same Conventional physical therapy and sham electromagnetic field. Both groups received 12 sessions over 4 weeks' period. Outcome measures - Primary outcome measures was pain intensity while the secondary outcome measures were disability and lumbar range of motion - ROM. There were no adverse events occurred during the study.
    Results: Fifty participants with non-specific low back pain (control group n=25; experimental group n=25) were randomized. There were significant between-group differences in pain scores (mean difference - MD 1.52; 95%CI -0.34 to 3.35), function disability (MD 8.14; 95%CI 6.5 to 9.96), Range of Motion (ROM) of lumbar flexion (MD -1.27; 95%CI -1.09 to -1.45), ROM of lumbar extension (MD -1.1; 95%CI -0.97 to -1.23), ROM of lumbar right side bending (MD 8.2; 95%CI 6.56 to 9.84) and ROM of lumbar left side bending (MD 10.4; 95%CI 8.81 to 11.99) in favour of the experimental group.
    Conclusion: Adding pulsed electromagnetic field to Conventional physical therapy Protocol yields superior clinical improvement in pain, functional disability, and lumbar ROM in patients with non-specific low back pain than Conventional physical therapy alone.
