Abstract

Purpose: to evaluate the effect of ultrasound cavitation on lipoedema of lower limb (outer female thigh superficial lipoedema). Methods of evaluation: (Measurement of the thigh circumference and thigh skin fold). Methods: 60 female patients with superficial lipoedema in the outer thigh; were divided into two groups. group (A): received the focus ultrasonic cavitation and cycling training .group (B): received only cycling training for two successive months, duration of treatment was 15 minutes session for either the focus ultrasonic cavitation or the cycling training day after day for two successive months. Results: Results showed that application of cycling training alone as in group (B) or application of focus ultrasonic cavitation in addition to the cycling training as in group (A) had a valuable effects on the superficial lipoedema in the outer female thigh as evidenced by the highly significant decreases in TCM and TSF. Conclusion: - Both protocols of treatment were effective in decreasing the superficial lipoedema in the outer female thigh. But application of focus ultrasonic cavitation in addition to the cycling training was fruitful and more beneficial than the cycling training alone
