Effect of Transfer Energy Capacitive and Resistive Therapy on Palmar Fibromatosis
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
The objective of the present study is to explore the effect of Transfer Energy Capacitive and Resistive Therapy (TECAR) therapy on pain, range of motion (ROM) and hand function in dupuytren's contracture patients (palmar fibromatosis).

Interventions
Transfer Energy Capacitive and Resistive (TECAR) therapy
The apparatus used is comprised of a generator that supplies a signal at the frequency of 0.5 MHz and a maximum power of 300 watts (HCR900).The power can be regulated by controlling the quantity of transferred energy and the relative biological action. The counter electrode (Return Plate) that closes the circuit consists of a metal plate that is applied in opposition or a cylinder that is clasped. The head of the device will be applied over the treated area for 20 minutes (min) (10 min of capacitive head and 10 min of resistive head), moderate to high intensity. It will be applied along and in circles over the affected palm, 3 sessions weekly for 6 weeks.
Traditional therapy
The patients will receive the traditional physical therapy program 3 sessions / week , for 6 weeks totally. It consists of stretching exercise, flexor tendon glide and splinting.
