Objective: The goal of this study was to investigate the effects of shortwave diathermy therapy combined with exercise on lumbar muscle strength. Patients and methods: Our study was an interventional study involving 90 patients with chronic low back pain who were admitted to our clinic between 2007-2008. Patients were randomized into 3 groups (each group had 30 patients). The same exercise programs were given to all groups. Patients in the first group were applied placebo shortwave diathermy treatment, the second group was applied continuous shortwave diathermy and the third group received pulsed shortwave diathermy. Isokinetic muscle strength measurements of the patients were performed before and three months after the treatment. Results: In our study, the only significant difference observed between the groups was in isometric flexion strength and interestingly the first group had higher improvement compared to the other groups. In regard to within group comparisons, Group 1 was found to have significant improvements in strengths for:isometric flexion, isokinetic flexion (60°/sec and 120°/sec), isokinetic extension (60°/sec and 120°/sec). Group 2 had significant improvements in isokinetic flexion and extension (60°/sec) and also isokinetic extension (120°/sec). In Group 3, none of the improvements were found to be significant. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that there are no significant differences between exercise therapy alone and exercise therapy in combination with diathermy (either continuous or pulsed) in terms of their effects on lumbar muscle strength, even though marginal differences in some of the measurements were observed.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze utilization rates and barriers of horticultural therapy while highlighting several of its efficacious applications. Horticultural therapy provides therapeutic opportunities to patients of varying diagnoses such as dementia, schizophrenia, depression, and other mental illnesses, yet is seemingly underutilized. Using telephone surveys, we analyzed the utilization of horticultural therapy in large medical institutions of the Northeast Ohio region, the remainder of Ohio, and portions of Western Pennsylvania. Nineteen out of twenty-four responding relevant medical institutions do not offer horticultural based therapeutic programs. These same institutions proclaim they are unable to provide the therapy due to inadequate financial remuneration and resources, inclement weather, and unfamiliarity towards horticultural therapy. Continued and more aggressive advocacy is imperative to achieve proper resourcing and remuneration of horticultural therapy as an essential health benefit through the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Objective: This Study aims to explore Nurses beliefs, attitudes and perception related to work in inpatient stroke rehabilitation Unit. Background: Role of the nurses in the rehabilitation process has increased dramatically for last two decades. Many attempts have been done to identify the role of the nurses in the Inpatient stroke rehabilitation units, they concluded that nurses are involved as an essential part of the rehabilitation process, however, their contribution to improving patient's outcomes is poorly understood and refined. Design: hermeneutic phenomenology, qualitative approach. Methods: The data were collected by using a semi-structured interview, using open-ended questions then the major themes Transcribed for thematic analysis. Results: Two Main categories were identified; the experience of nurses in Stroke rehabilitation units and the challenges in nursing contribution in stroke units, and the recommended strategies to enhance the role of the nurses in stroke rehab units. Conclusion/Relevance to clinical practice: The study provided an evidence that nurses believe in themselves as an effective team member in stroke rehabilitation, and they are enjoying while helping patients to recover to allow them to reintegrate and adapt to their new life situations. However, this study showed a lot of obstacles that minimize the contribution of nursing in stroke rehabilitation units. The future nursing rehab role should also be developed to meet the post-discharge needs and the emerging rehabilitation services and technologies, moreover, nurses have to clear and specify their specific bedside care and interventions. Nurses have to adopt new knowledge and competencies in collaboration with other disciplines such as occupational therapies, physical therapy, and speech therapy, to upgrade their assessment and intervention skills that enable the nurses to provide systematic and therapeutic feedback about the patient progress and the proper interventions that needed to reflects that on the functional abilities on discharge.

Chronic thromboembolic PH (CTEPH) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are two subtypes of PH. CTEPH is characterized by organic thrombotic obstructions of pulmonary arteries, which reduce pulmonary vascular reserve. As new therapies are developed for CTEPH and PAH, prompt screening for the presence of PH, diagnosis and distinction between CTEPH and PAH have become increasingly important. Although their pathophysiology differs, the clinical presentation at rest is highly similar between CTEPH and PAH, as both disorders have only non-specific symptoms. Therefore, differentiating between CTEPH and PAH using non-invasive techniques remains challenging. This mini-review focuses on the role of ventilatory gas analysis in the management of PH patients, presents recent studies dealing with ventilatory gas analysis, and discusses the latest use of ventilatory gas analysis for diagnosing, assessing (in terms of severity), and distinguishing between CTEPH and PAH.

Few reports have been published examining cervical foraminal stenosis as the cause of drop finger. This mini-review, therefore, will provide a summary of the findings of articles published on this topic, written in both English and Japanese. Cervical foraminal stenosis is difficult to diagnose from imaging findings alone; thus, physical examination findings are often needed to make a firm diagnosis. Numbness of the fingers, the extent of interscapular pain, and finger posture can be used to differentiate drop finger due to cervical foraminal stenosis from other diseases. It is crucial to provide sufficient explanation to the patient before a decompression surgery is performed because the recovery of muscle strength is often incomplete and the improvement may be small.

Stroke is a huge medical care issue and a significant reason for long haul inability [1]. Accepting recovery in a medical clinic post stroke beginning permits the patient fast admittance to prompt multidisciplinary care [2]. Notwithstanding, intense emergency clinic lengths of stay have been essentially diminished [3]. After early release from the emergency clinic, restoration treatment can in any case additionally improve the patient's capacity. In like manner, the quantity of stroke patients who need proceeded with recovery and the arrangement of homebased restoration is expanding. Locally situated recovery permits practice of practically installed exercises in the patient's genuine climate, which might be more gainful than training inside normalized settings. The projects can be custom fitted to coordinate the patient's requirements and afterward rehearsed in a common habitat, which makes customer focused treatment more practicable. However, investigations of locally established restoration for the recuperation of upper-appendage work have indicated promising yet conflicting outcomes. No decisive impacts of locally situated restoration can be drawn, chiefly on account of inadequate investigation plans and the shifted kinds of treatment conventions, for example, practice programs, home visits, telerehabilitation, limitation initiated treatment, and explicit upper-appendage preparing programs. Further exploration to all the more exhaustively examine the viability of locally situated restoration utilizing a controlled preliminary plan is still warranted. Approximately 70% to 80% of stroke patients have furthest point (UE) engine deficts. Mirror treatment has arisen as a novel UE restoration approach, and momentum proof shows that stroke patients profit by this therapy. A contextual investigation found that reflect treatment can be effectively managed at the patient's home environment.

One of the neurological diseases which are seen very common in humans is Movement Disorder (MD). Movement disorder is a cluster of pattern exemplified by a mutilation of the directive of deliberate activity of motor cortex with no functionality of cerebella. Disorders such as Parkinson's disease, tic disorders etc comes under this cluster pattern. In general terms, the medical symptoms of movement disorders are due to the damage of basal ganglia cells. Many previous studies depicted the loss of changes in some of functionality of neurons; however, the pathologic sources for several disorders like MD still undetermined. In order to visualize such pathologic occurrences in many movement disorders, an advanced technique name neuroimaging has been used. Various neuroimaging techniques such as MR (Magnetic Resonance) imaging etc. have been used to visualize pathological changes in these disorders. In this article, significance of neuroimaging techniques is depicted for resolving conflicts of movement disorders. Further, some limitations are also explained.
