The study aims to compare the effects of neuromuscular training and mobilization with movement on pain, range of motion, function, and disability in professional athletes with ankle sprain. Neuromuscular training focuses on improving neuromuscular control and stability, while mobilization with movement aims to restore joint mobility and function. By investigating the outcomes of these two interventions, the study seeks to provide insights into their effectiveness for managing ankle sprains in professional athletes.
Upper cross syndrome is relative prevalent 67% musculoskeletal disorder among general population due to increased usage of smart gadgets and poor postural habits. Upper cross syndrome is known for initiating malfunction of cervical and upper back muscles also associated with respiration. Individuals with upper cross syndrome may present with relaxed supine positioning, they may having normal respiratory mechanics but might be converted to accessory muscles activated pattern. Neck pain is the most common type of pain in non-traumatic conditions, affecting about 75.7% of people. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of segmental and pursed lip breathing exercises on pain, functional disability and quality of life in population with upper cross syndrome. Current study will be randomized controlled trial conducted at Ismail Medicare Jhang, 40 patients according to inclusion criteria will be included in the study. They will be allocated into 2 groups by non-probability purposive sampling technique. Group A (control group) will receive conventional physical therapy treatment (hot pack, electrical stimulation, myofascial release, ROM and strengthening exercises) while Group B (experimental group) receive conventional physical therapy treatment with segmental and pursed lip breathing exercises. Outcome measures are Pain Numeric Scale, Quality of life (SF 36) and Functional disability (neck disability index). These tools will measure neck function and neck pain intensity. Treatment time will be 4 weeks, 3 sessions per week, each session will be 45 minutes long, and measurements will be taken after 4 weeks. Data will be analyzed by SPSS version 25. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro - wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups analysis. Key Words: Breathing Exercises, Cervical Pain, Disability, Upper Cross
Constipation is Infrequent or difficult evacuation of FECES. These symptoms are associated with a variety of causes, including low DIETARY FIBER intake, emotional or nervous disturbances, systemic and structural disorders, drug-induced aggravation, and infections. Patients complaining of constipation may mean different things by the term The frequency of their bowel actions may be less than 'normal', their stools maybe difficult to pass, or they may have a sense of malaise or abdominal discomfort which they attribute to a 'sluggish bowel', though the stool frequency and consistency are apparently normal. Objective of this study is to compare effects of Abdominal massage. withTENSonparasacralversussacralareaonsymptomseverityandqualityoflifein severechronicconstipationamongyoungfemales.
Calf pain is a common complaint among runners of all ages but is most frequent in masters athletes. The most common calf injury is a tear of the medial gastrocnemius muscle (Tennis Leg) but other structures including the lateral gastrocnemius, plantaris and soleus also may be the cause of muscular pain.There are multiple techniques for the management that involves loading the strained calf musculature through rest, taping techniques, and appropriate soft tissue massage techniques, modalities such as dry needling or western acupuncture can be popular amongst runners and may also be useful. Progressive loading is a principle of resistance training exercise program design that typically relies on increasing load to increase neuromuscular demand to facilitate further adaptations whereas Athletic performance is based on a number of skills that can be developed through a sports conditioning program. This particular program focuses on improving both muscular strength and power using a technique called post-activation potentiation (PAP), also commonly referred to as complex training.
Hemiplegia in infants and children is a type of Cerebral Palsy that results from damage to the part (hemisphere) of the brain that controls muscle movements. This damage may occur before, during or shortly after birth. The term hemiplegia means that the paralysis is on one vertical half of the body. The aim of this study will be the to know the effect of mCIMT with and without mirror therapy on upper limb function in children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. A randomized control trial will be conducted at Sheikh Zayed Hospital, RYK through convenience sampling technique on 30 patients which will be allocated through simple random sampling through sealed opaque enveloped into group A and group B. Group A will be treated with mCIMT and Group B will be treated with mCIMT and mirror therapy. Outcome measure will be conducted through pain and disability questionnaire after 6 weeks. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software version 21. After assessing normality of data by Shapiro - wilk test, it will be decided either parametric or non-parametric test will be used within a group or between two groups. mCIMT with and without mirror therapy will be applied in patients with hemiplegic cerebral palsy to see the effect on upper limb function.
The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of non-invasive invasive vagal nerve stimulation on diabetic peripheral neuropathic pain in people with diabetes.
Language is the system someone uses to communicate with another person. This covers the origins and construction of words, their definitions, and the use of language in various contexts. In normally developing children, receptive language skills are typically much more advanced than expressive language skills. However, some studies found that toddlers and kids with ASD had a relatively greater impairment in receptive language skills than in expressive language skills. The study will evaluate the ABLLS-R (Assessment of Basic Language and Learning Skills test) and Portage guidance and compare their effectiveness in developing the Receptive Language Skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (N=12). The study will follow the Randomized control trial study design and a purposive sampling technique will be used. Data will be collected from a special education centre BASES (Behaviour and special education services), Lahore. Children with autism spectrum disorder with mild to moderate severity level will be included in the study. The age range of the children will be from three years to seven years. Children with other neurological disorders or any comorbid conditions will be excluded from the study. The consent form will be filled out by parents of children who meet the inclusion criteria. The autism screening tool will apply by the speech and language pathologist. Half of the total number of children will receive therapeutic intervention under ABLLS-R protocol and other will receive Interventions under portage guide protocol. The data will be analysed by using SPSS 22 statistical software. The results of the study of both the groups will be compared and conclusion will be made on the basis of results. Receptive language skills are crucial for communication and social interaction. Research comparing these assessment tools can contribute to the development of more effective early intervention programs for children with ASD. By identifying the most appropriate assessment tool and intervention strategies, these programs can be better designed to support early language development and promote better long-term outcomes. By understanding the strengths and limitations of each assessment tool, professionals can create more individualized treatment plans for children with ASD
The primary objective of this study is to determine the combined effects of Brunnstorm movement therapy and low level laser therapy on upper limb function in chronic stroke patient.
