Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Hyperpolarized Light on lower limb cellulitis with lymphatic disorders. Methods: Thirty patients with lower limb cellulitis with lymphatic disorders participated in the study and were divided randomly into two equal groups. Group (A) received Hyperpolarized Light and Traditional Skin Care; Group (B) received Traditional skin care only. Both groups were assessed before and after treatment by using ALT 70 diagnostic model. Results: Statistical tests for normality revealed that most of variables were non-normally distributed. So, nonparametric tests were used for within group differences (Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test) and between groups differences (Mann-Whitney U Test). Statistical test used revealed that there was statistically significant difference between groups with significant reduction in ALT posttest in favor of study group A or study group (P-value 0.05). So, patients participated in the two groups were homogenous.
