Subjects:Fortyatherosclerotic diabetic patients, with ages ranged from 45 to 55 years old, were recruited from Out Clinic of Faculty of Physical Therapy Cairo University. They were assigned randomly in two equal groups in numbers; group A, which received PEMF with 15 Hz frequency and 20 gauss intensity for 20 min., while group B received aerobic exercise with 65-80% predicted max heart rate. For both groups treatment conducted for 8 weeks, 3 sessions/week. Measurement of arterial blood flow and intimal thickness by Doppler ultrasonography were reported before and after 8 weeks of the treatment. Results:within group comparison showed significant increase of arterial blood flow and significant reduction of intimal thickness in both groups (P<0.05). Comparison between post treatment values between both groups showed non-significant difference. Conclusion: It could be concluded that, PEMF and aerobic exercises are effective methods in treatment of arterial blood flow and intimal thickness in type 2 diabetic patients UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
