Abstract
Purpose: to evaluate the efficacy of the low level laser therapy (LLLT) versus polarized light therapy (BLT) on healing of foot burn. Methods of evaluation (Burn surface area and colony count). Methods:- Forty patients who had partial thickness thermal burn affecting foot with the percentage of total body surface area (TBSA) ranging from 1% to 5%. Their ages were ranged from 25 to 35 years, diagnosis was clinically by physician, the patients were randomly divided into two equal groups in number; two study groups (one for LLLT and the other for BLT). The first study group (A) was composed of twenty patients who received the LLLT in addition to the traditional physical therapy routine and conservative treatment of the burn wound for one month. The second study group (B) was composed of twenty patients who received the BLT in addition to traditional physical therapy routine and conservative treatment for the burn wound. Duration of treatment was session (10 minutes) once daily, three times per week for one month or until wound healing. Results and conclusion :- Results showed that the application of both polarized light therapy and Ga-As laser had a valuable healing effects. The results of this study supports the expectation that both the polarized light therapy and the Ga-As laser were effective in enhancing healing of burns, as manifested by the highly decreases BSA and CC. But LLLT was more effective and beneficial than the BLT in decreasing the CC indicating that LLLT was more bactericidal
