    Chronicleg ulcers due to venous insufficiency, atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, or small vessel disease affect approximately 1% of the general population and up to 10% of individuals who are in health care facilities. The purposeof this study was to determine which therapeutic method out frompneumatic compression (PC)versus pulsed ultrasound current (US) obtains the best improvement in healing rate of venous leg ulcers. Thirtymale patientscomplicated with venous leg ulcer.Their ages ranged from 50 to 60 years. They were randomized into 2 equal groups of equal number; group (A)received (PC)while group (B) received(US) ,in addition toexercises therapy andmedical treatment. Measurements of ulcer surface area and volume in addition to ankle dorsi flexion muscle force for all patients in the two groups were done before treatment and after two months of the treatment program. There was no statistically significant difference between mean levels of the investigated parameters in (PC)and (US) group (p<0.05).Conclusion: Both(PC)and (US)are effective in the treatment of leg venous ulcer. Key words: venous leg ulcers,ultrasound therapy, pneumatic compression.
