Background: The objective was to compare the effectiveness of Isometric neck strengthening exercises with static stretching vs. static stretching alone in the management of nonspecific chronic neck pain. Materials and methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial. 52 patients with non-specific chronic neck pain were randomly assigned through simple random sampling technique, into experimental (group 1) received Isometric training with static stretching and control group (group 2) received Static stretching alone. While aerobic training was initiated by both groups prior their main interventions. Therapeutic session was 3 days per week for 1 month. Neck pain and Disability was assessed by using outcome measures, numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) and neck disability index (NDI). Treadmill machine, Stationary Cycle and Stop watch were used during treatment session. Results: Both groups showed improvements; the baseline mean NDI score was 34.46 ± 11.80 and the final session score was 23.26 ± 17.46 which was significantly (p<0.001) whilst the baseline mean NPRS score was 5.38 ± 1.60 and the final session mean score was 2.65 ± 1.59 which was significantly (p<0.001) in experimental group (Group 1). In control group (Group 2), the baseline mean NDI score was 30.88 ± 10.75 and the final session mean score was 28.44 ± 10.43 which was significantly (p=0.002) whilst the baseline mean NPRS score was 5.00 ± 1.64 and the final session mean score was 3.80 ± 1.87 which was significantly (p=0.001). Conclusion: Both treatment regimens are effective in the management of chronic nonspecific neck pain; however Isometric strengthening exercises training with static stretching appears more valuable as compared with Static stretching training alone.

Background: Prosthesis and orthosis are assistive devices used for different forms of cases. Lower limb prostheses and orthoses are very crucial to improve patient’s ability to walking, increased level of activity and participation to enhance their quality of life. However, there is limited knowledge of workplace variables that either satisfy or dissatisfy the prosthesis and orthosis users in the regional state, Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the satisfaction and associated factors among lower limb prosthesis and orthosis users in Amhara National Regional State Rehabilitation Center, Ethiopia. Methods: Institution based cross-sectional study was conducted from April 01 to May 30, 2019, at Amhara National Regional State Rehabilitation Center among lower limb prosthesis and orthosis users. Data were collected using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire by the standardized assessment tool; Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with Assistive Technology (QUEST 2.0). The study included a total of 207 participants. Binary logistic regression analysis was performed. In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, p value < 0.05 and adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to identify the associated factors. Results: The study revealed that 56.5% (95% CI: 49.9-63.3) of lower limb prosthesis and orthosis users were satisfied. Experiencing pain (AOR: 5.56, 95%CI: 2.68-11.52), living in the rural area (AOR: 3.52, 95%CI: 1.51-8.21), use of prosthesis and orthosis devices on an average less than 9 hours (AOR=0.30, 95% CI 0.11-0.80) and 9-12 hours in a day (AOR: 0.16, 95% CI: 0.07-0.38) were factors significantly associated with satisfaction. Conclusion: The magnitude of lower limb prosthesis and orthosis users’ satisfaction was found to be relatively low. Therefore, healthcare providers and managers of the rehabilitation center need to emphasize on status of the client’s device throughout patient care in the management of clients’ pain and use of devices on an average hour per day.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and the improvement of upper limb function is one of the main challenges faced by them. Mirror therapy utilizes a table top mirror to create a reflection of one’s arm or hand, which used to help increase movement and decrease pain in limbs. The purpose of this current article is to review and collect the evidence for the effects of mirror therapy on upper limb impairment in patients with different stroke stages. Studies suggest that applied mirror therapy alone, or coupled with different methods such as electrical stimulation, can be helpful to improve motor recovery, motor performance, motor function, and activity of daily living.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common cause of physical disability in childhood, someway representing the reverse side of neonatal mortality. CP affects more than 17 million people worldwide. In countries with advanced health systems, one child every 500-700 births is affected by CP approximately. The interpretation of CP nature, as it is still proposed internationally (starting from Mac Keith et al. 1956 to Rosenbaum 2007: Cerebral palsy describes a group of disorders of the development of movement and posture, causing activity limitation, which are attributed to non-progressive disturbances that occurred in the developing foetal or infant brain …) is no longer acceptable because defective for four important bias at least.

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is one of the well-known disorders which occur to the central nervous system of human being. PD often leads to affect the movements. It is a brain disorder which affects the humans in several ways such as shaking, unbalanced walking etc. According to NIH, 50% more men are affected by PD than women [1]. PD is commonly seen in people with age 60. PD occurs whenever the brain cells turn into condition of dead and the dead cells results in producing the chemical named "dopamine” in fewer amounts.

Objective: This study aimed to determine whether optokinetic stimulation (OKS) in the virtual reality (VR) environment via a head - mounted display (HMD) could significantly shift weight bearing (shift of the center of pressure (CoP) position) during gait movement in healthy subjects. Patients with hemi - plegia after stroke exhibit postural instability with weight-bearing shift to the non - paretic side. This adversely affects activities of daily living, and increases the risk of falls during gait movement.Increasing the CoP on the paretic direction, and correcting the asymmetry are considered important for addressing the problems. Methods: The present study investigated the effect of OKS in a VR environment on posture balance, and assessed whether the stimulation could induce a stable shift of CoP during gait movement as well as during static standing. CoP during static standing, and the foot pressure during gait were measured to evaluate the weight-bearing balance. For OKS, a pattern of random dots was presented and was continuously moved in horizontal (HOKS) and torsional (TOKS) directions through an HMD. Results: Based on the overall results of CoP sway parameters in response to various OKS velocities in the balance test, OKS velocity of 40°/s was adopted for gait test. Both HOKS and TOKS induced a lateral deviation of the walking trajectory, a significant increase in stance period, and foot sole pressure on the stimulation side, which indicated lateral weight-bearing shift to the direction of OKS. Conclusion: The results indicate that OKS through HMD-VR can induce significant weight-bearing shift during gait movement as well as during static standing, suggesting that the approach can be applied to gait exercise training for the patients with hemiplegia as an effective tool with extensibilities.

In the recommendations of the 6th International Consultation of Incontinence (ICI) [1] physiotherapy is considered a level 1, grade A, first-line treatment for the most prevalent kinds of urinary incontinence, stress-, urgency- and mixed urinary incontinence. When the attentive reader carefully looks at the ICI algorithms regarding initial management of urinary incontinence in women, he or she will find out that the medical diagnosis is actually no more than a ‘presumed diagnosis’ [2] . So, it might be that, based on such medical data, patients will be send for treatment to a physiotherapist with unclear health problems, underlying pathology and consequences [3]. Therefore, a physiotherapeutic assessment is essential to find out if, and to what extent, physiotherapy is helpful to deal with the consequences of the health problem urinary incontinence and what treatment components are warranted [3].
