Dissertation note: Thesis (M.Sc.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Physical Therapy - Department of Physical Therapy for Gynecology and Obstetrics Summary: This study was conducted to determine the effect of low level laser therapy (LLLT) on femoral bone mineral density (BMD). Forty postmenopausal women aging 50 - 60 with BMD T- score < - 1.5 and > - 2.5 participated in this study. They were randomly assigned into; control group consisted of 20 women who received calcium (500 mg) and vitamin D (200 IU) supplements twice daily, and study group consisted of 20 women who received the same medications, in addition to LLLT 3 sessions /week for 4 months. Evaluation was done through using DEXA for assessing femoral BMD and before and after end of treatment course. Results revealed that both the control and study group showed a highly significant increase (P = 0.0001) in BMD at femoral neck, ward{u2019}s triangle and greater trochanter post - treatment. Compared to the control group, the study group showed a non - significant difference in the femoral neck BMD (P = 0.171), while it showed a significant increase in ward{u2019}s triangle BMD (P = 0.014) and highly significant increase in greater trochanter BMD (P = 0.001) post-treatment. It can be concluded that LLLT is an effective and safe modality for improving BMD in postmenopausal women with low BMD
