Theory of mechanism of operation: Parkinsonism is a clinical syndrome defined by diminished facial expression, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movement, festinating gait, and tremors. Parkinson disease (PD) is found in individuals with progressive Parkin- sonism and is diagnosed based on clinical assessment and diagnostic exclusion. Parkinson disease is associated with the degeneration of dopaimnergic […]

Background The progression of low-level laser therapy as a viable therapy has made tremendous strides since the early investigations conducted nearly a century ago to assess how light can affect atom bound electrons. The photoelectric effect, a theory postulated by Max Plank and later proven by Albert Einstein in the early 1900s, identified that light […]

In conclusion, the TQ treatment proved to have greater efficacy than sham treatment in patients with decreased shoulder ROM over and beyond conventional treatment. No side-effects were observed. There was also a positive evolution trend in alleying the shoulder pain; yet because of the small sample it did not reach statistically significance. The results of […]
