Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Versus Pulsed High Intensity Laser in the of Osteoprosis

PEMF was administered to the whole body for PEMF groups using a 1.8×0.6m mat 30 minutes/day, 3 times/week for 3 months.

The exercise training program included treadmill and aerobic exercises for hip and upper limb and performed for 50 minutes.

High Laser was delivered with a total dose of energy of 3000 J was delivered in two treatment phases. The initial phase was performed with fast manual scanning at 510, 610, and 710 mJ/cm2 in three successive subphases and 500 J in each subphase for a total of 1500 J. The final phase was the same as the initial phase except that the scanning was slow. The average area for the upper thigh or lower back was 200 cm2 with an average fluency of 15 J/cm2 and the application time for each area was 18 min. HILT was applied using a HIRO 3 device (ASA, Arcugnano, Vicenza, Italy).
