| Purpose: This study was conducted to determine the effect of sodium diclofenac phonophoresis versus kinesio tape in the treatment of post natal De quervain syndrome. Subjects and methods: Thirty women participated in this study. They had post natal De Quervain`s syndrome (De Quervain’s tenosynovitis); (+ve finkelstein's test) with moderate pain on VAS (visual analogue scale). They were chosen from outpatient clinic of faculty of physical therapy Cairo University. Their ages were ranged from 22 to 35 years old. They were divided randomly into two groups equal in number, group (A) was treated by sodium diclofenac phonophoresis 5 min, 0.5 w/cm2, 3MHZ with continuous mode, 3 times/ week for one week while group (B) was treated by kinesio tape with 25-50 % of available tension on the two stretched tendons of the first dorsal compartment (using space correction technique) 3 times/week for one week. Pain and grip < br />muscle strength were evaluated before, immediately post treatment after one week and follow up after another one week without any intervention for both groups. Results: The obtained results showed a statistically significant decrease in pain and increase in grip < br />muscle strength in both groups, when both groups were compared together, there was no statistically significant difference in pain, palmer and key grip strength between the two studied groups but there was a statistically significant increase in tip strength in group < br />(A) than group(B). Conclusion: we recommend using these two modalities as a new, effective and safe treatment for post natal de quervain syndrome. | ||||
