Abstract
Background: to evaluate effects of microcurrent stimulation (MENS) versus neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in relation to motor conduction velocity of the neuropathic common peroneal nerve post burn of the post-hospitalization period. Methods of evaluation: (Measurement of the motor conduction velocity). Methods: forty five burned patients of chronic phase with the percentage of total body surface area (TBSA), ranging from 20% to 30% and their early diagnosis was a burn of 2nd or 3rd degree and complicated with peripheral mononeuropathy affecting the common peroneal nerve, they were (30 males and 15 females) ranging in age from 20 to 35 years and randomly assigned into 3 groups (2 experimental groups and one control group), the first experimental group formed of 15 patients to which the MENS was applied, the second experimental group formed of 15 patients to which the NMES was applied and a control group formed of 15 patients to which the placebo NMES or placebo MENS was applied, duration of treatment was 20 minutes (day after day) to all groups for 2 months as a total period of treatment
