Abstract: The objective of this study is to find association between Body Mass Index, Q-Angle and flat foot in university students. Flatfoot, also known as: ‘Pes Planus’ causes mechanical compression in the knee and upsurges interaction amid to the patellar enunciation exteriors. As a result, most problematic flat foot cases are discovered through complaints of knee pain. Even while obesity and flat feet have frequently been linked before, not all researchers have discussed the relationship of flat feet through age, sexual category, and Body Mass Index. Materials and techniques: Cross sectional study design was followed. 200 healthy university students, aged between 18-25 years were selected from different universities of Lahore Pakistan on the basis of Non Probability Sampling Technique. 49.5% of which was females while 50.5% were males. BMI, Q-angle and Foot Disability Index tools were used and records were examined on SPSS version 25.0.Results: The current study showed that the Q-angle of group A, which was made up of healthy male high school students, went up more than that of group B, which was made up of male high school students with flat feet. Therefore, there is a strong connection between flat feet and a rising Q angle.Conclusion: This study concluded that greater BMI had a significant effect on flat foot as well as plantar arch index and Q angle.

Background: Stroke is clinically diagnosed as an acute, localized neurological impairment that is caused by vascular damage (infarction, hemorrhage) to the central nervous system. This main leading cause of demise and dysfunction worldwide resulting in frequent deficit, hemiplegia, which briefly affects upper limb. This multicentered study is the first to provide updated normative reference values for FMA-UE in post stroke adults in wide range of age in Pakistan’s population. Objective: To determine Pakistani normative values of Fugl-Meyer Assessment on upper extremity in post Stroke Population. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study on 1260 post-stroke patients was conducted in various public and private physiotherapy centers of country using Fugl-Meyer Assessment (Upper-Extremity) FMA-UE scale after ethical approval. Hemiplegic survivors of both genders aged 45-75 years were taken using convenience sampling technique, informed consent was taken. Statistics was done using SPSS version25. Results: Patients included were 88.3% ischemic and 11.7% hemorrhagic. 44.1% were in acute phase (less than 2 weeks) while 55.9% were in sub-acute (2 weeks to 6 months) phase. Mean score of FMA-UE was 88.63±30.09. The cutoff score/mean value for motor impairment and sensation was recorded as 41.49 ±19.7 and 8.6±3.9 while passive joint motion and pain were calculated 18.93±5.47 and 19.57±5.1 respectively. Conclusion: The scoring, in acute and subacute phases, accentuate the need to follow Pakistani specific modified norms in Asian inhabitants instead of reference values applicable on western population.

ABSTRACT Objectives: To assess physiotherapy knowledge and experiences among pregnant females in antenatal care culture meanwhile aims to raise awareness about importance of physiotherapy in antenatal care. Methodology: This study was cross sectional .After the approval from IRB SMDC subjects were recruited using convenient sampling. Study setting was gynecology department of Shalamar hospital Lahore. Written consent form and study description was provided to each participant. After giving complete description of study data and signing the consent information was recorded through in person interview with each subject using a self-administered questionnaire, it took 5-10 minutes with each subject. Online Google form was sent to pregnant women. The data was entered and analyzed using SPSS 25. Results: With a response rate of 100% it was found that most of women (n=106 79.1%) knew about physiotherapy, but knowledge and awareness of antenatal physiotherapy and its benefits were fairly low (n=46, 34.1%. Prevalence of low back pain (n=112, 82.9%), urine leakage (n=48, 35.5%), and other musculoskeletal stresses were seen to be high among pregnant females. While there was little guidance (n=23, 17%) about antenatal physiotherapy and referral to physiotherapy (n=22, 15.07%) was also quite low. Conclusion: Pregnant females had quite insufficient knowledge and experiences in antenatal physiotherapy. There is a need to educate masses about physiotherapy and its benefits in antenatal care. Appropriate measures should be taken to spread awareness and knowledge among pregnant females, families and health care providers for improvement of quality of life among pregnant females. Key words: Pregnant females, Physiotherapy, Pregnancy, Exercise, Knowledge, Experiences.

Introduction Stroke is a neurological insufficiency caused by cerebrovascular injury resulting in major motor deficits in lower limbs. Different therapeutic interventions are being used for stroke rehabilitation. Task oriented walking intervention is a unique approach used for stroke rehabilitation. This research work was planned to study the effects of Task-Oriented walking Interventions on improving the mobility related confidence level in chronic stroke patients. Method This randomized control trial study was conducted on 48 stroke patients in hospital settings. Informed consent was taken from all the study participants before inclusion in the study population and the data from the study subjects was collected through a specially designed questionnaire, 06 minutes-walk test (6MWT), Timed "Up and Go" test (TUG), and Activity-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale. The study population was randomly divided into two groups as experimental group and control group. Experimental group received Task-Oriented Walking Interventions and conventional treatment while control group received conventional interventions only. Results On statistical analysis, significant improvement in mobility related confidence level for all the three scales TUG, ABC and 6MWT was observed on experimental group as compared to the control group after six weeks of interventions. Conclusion The study concluded that task oriented walking interventions is an effective approach for improving mobility related confidence level in post stroke patients.

Background: Patient satisfaction has now become a major component in evaluating the different concerns of patients which are not only related to patient’s health but also co-relates with the quality of organization. It seems that satisfaction in physical therapy is also concerned with the gender in many health care corporations. Objective: To compare the patient satisfaction with physiotherapy care between male and female patients of Sialkot. Methods: This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted from Febuary to August, 2022 at different public and private hospitals in Sialkot. Non-probability simple convenient sampling technique was used and data was collected from different hospitals of Sialkot by taking informed consent prior to data collection. The Med Risk instrument was used as a data collection tool which was based on a 12-item questionnaire and data was analyzed by using SPSS 16. The mean and standard deviation and independent-t test was used for the comparison of physiotherapy care between male and female patients. P-value ≤. 05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: Out of 260 patients, 95(36.54%0 were male and 165(63.46%) were female. By comparing the total mean score 47.78±13.75 of patient satisfaction between male and female it determines significantly a higher level of satisfaction. while the satisfaction level of male patients mean score was 48.77±5.22 and females was 45.98±5.58. The factors which show a significant difference between male and female patient satisfaction are waiting area, therapist did not spend enough time, therapist treats me respectfully, therapist answers all my questions and returns to this office for future services with a p-value of. 00. Conclusion: The results of our study show a significant importance of male and female variables in patient satisfaction, in which both male and female patients show an overall higher level of satisfaction but males were more satisfied in some factors as compared to females.

The management of stroke, acute revascularization and rehabilitation techniques have taken a giant leap in the current decade. The presence of neurological deficits, spasticity and pain are the common limiting factors in post-stroke patients. The various rehabilitation measures in stroke are focused on improving the trio. Spasticity, in a post-stroke patient, is disabling and can be managed using oral pharmacological agents, botulinum toxin, intrathecal baclofen. The use of needle therapy, dry needling, which was commonly used in the management of myofascial pain syndromes has emerged useful in the management of spasticity. Further recent evidence has shown it to be useful in the other dimensions of stroke rehabilitation. Dry Needling is a skilled intervention, that is performed by trained personnel using a filiform needle. It can be performed superficially or deep. The speculative mechanisms by which dry needling reduces spasticity include inducing stretch in the muscle and afferent modulation of the sensory information from the muscle. It improves blood flow and oxygenation, reduces pain through central and peripheral mechanisms. (1) The use of dry needling in neurology has evolved from its use in the management of myofascial pain to spasticity in spastic tetra paresis and stroke rehabilitation. In post-stroke patients, dry needling has been used in the management of post-stroke spasticity, balance, post-stroke pain. In the management of spasticity, dry needling using ‘pistoning technique’ in the lower limbs (gastrocnemius, tibialis posterior) and upper limbs (shoulder, elbow and wrist) revealed improved scores in modified modified Ashworth scale (MMAS) that translated to improved gait and range of upper limb motion respectively. The dry needling was performed for 1 minute in each muscle studied. However, the number of sessions varied from a single session to 8-week therapy between studies. In the management of balance, the dry needling of the involved tibialis posterior muscle improved the balance as measured by single-leg stance, balance component of Fugl-Meyer scale and dynamic posturography. The improvement in the above measures is also shown to improve the functional outcome of post-stroke patients in Barthel index, 10-metre walk test, timed up and go test. The dry needling is shown to reduce pain including post-stroke shoulder pain by reducing the pain threshold. The above effects of dry needling were also evident in ultrasound assessment of the intervened gastrocnemius muscle that showed improved muscle length, reduced mean muscle thickness and angle of pennation. (1-3) The dry needling has also been studied in post-stroke rehabilitation as a component of the multimodal approach. The use of dry needling in conjunction with electrical stimulation of the muscle is shown to produce persistent improvement in the tone of the muscle. The adverse events noted following the use of dry needling include post interventional muscle soreness, bleed

Background: Cervical pain is a word that refers to a variety of medical conditions that affect the cervical muscles, cervical joints or both. Patients who have undergone tooth extraction experience symptoms of cervical disease more than those who have not undergone it. Objective: The main aim of this research was to evaluate the prevalence & severity of cervical impairment among patients who had undergone tooth extraction. Material and Methods: A total of 134 individuals post tooth extraction were included in this study. To acquire all of the data, a convenient sampling technique was utilized. The participants in the research were 60 % males and 40 % females, with a mean age value of 47.68. Patients under the age of 18 who had previously had a maxillofacial injury or trauma were excluded. Results: Cervical discomfort is strongly connected to the post tooth extraction, according to the findings of current research. Among the 134 participating patients, there were 23(17%) with no pain or disability. 49(37%) experienced mild pain or disability while 62(47%) patients suffered from moderate cervical pain or disability. Conclusion: According to the current research more than 47% of the population suffers from the pain in the cervical region post tooth extraction. Most of the patients had shown to be suffering from a number of disabilities occurring concurrently
