Background: Cerebral palsy is treated by various techniques but still more advancement is needed to find out the effects of sensory stimulation training on gross motor abilities in patients with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Objectives: To determine the effect of sensory stimulation training on gross motor abilities in hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Methods: A single-blind randomized control trial was conducted at Al Rehman Hospital Phase II, Gulraiz Rawalpindi, spanning over 06 months from Feb 2019 to Jun 2019. The sampling technique was non-probability purposive sampling, Total sample size was 40, calculated through open epi, and randomly allocated into two groups equally by lottery method. Diagnosed hemiplegic cerebral palsy patients between 4 to 14 years of age, of both genders, did not receive special education and were not treated with sensory stimulation therapy, were included while any medical or surgical treatment before or during the study period was excluded. The Control group received Bobath Neurodevelopmental treatment, while the experimental group received sensory stimulation training by using Rody, swivel Cars, Foam Pogo Stick, Wobble Deck, Platform swing, trampoline, and Spooner board training five days a week for 6 weeks. Data was analyzed by SPSS 21, a Normality test was applied and results showed that data was normally distributed as the p-value of Shapiro-Wilk was <0.05. Results: Out of 40 hemiplegic cerebral palsy patients, 20 were in the experimental while 20 were in the control group among them 23(57.5%) were females and 17(42.5%) were males. GMFCS before the training in the experimental group was 3.65 + 0. 67, while in the control group was 3.55 + 0.60 with the P-value of 0.62. After the exercise program, the experimental group was 3.60 + 0.75, and the control group was 3.60 + 0.50 with the P-value of 1.00. Within-group analysis showed before and after training P-value was <0.01 in both experimental and control groups. Conclusion: It is concluded that sensory stimulation training improves gross motor abilities in hemiplegic cerebral palsy.

Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS) usually known as shin splints is an exercise related overuse injury of lower extremity. It mostly affects athletes and military recruits. The incidence of MTSS is 16-44% in a variety of sports, such as field events and long-distance running. Contributing factors for MTSS are female gender, increased BMI, increased navicular drop, poor running kinematics and previous history of MTSS. Most common symptom in MTTS is pain across the posteromedial border of the tibia which is increased by activity and relieved through rest. It can be reliably diagnosed with a history and clinical examination. MRI and CT scan are used to rule out other conditions which have similar symptoms. The severity of condition is determined through MTSS score. Management of MTSS includes rest, icing, massage, acupuncture, leg braces and modalities; whereas surgery is reserved for refractory cases.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty is a surgery in which the diseased ball and socket of the hip joint is completely removed and replaced with artificial materials and satisfaction is a state felt by a person who has experienced a performance or an outcome that fulfill his or her expectation. Prevalence of total hip arthroplasty is 5.26%. Objectives: The objective of the study was to determine the patient satisfaction level after primary total hip arthroplasty. Methods: This was a descriptive cross sectional study with a sample size of 51 patients. Both genders are included with an age range of 45-65years and the patients who enrolled six months after surgery. Those patients were excluded who refused to participate in the study, those patients undergoing revision hip arthroplasty and patients who have any congenital deformity of lower limb. A self-administrated patient-satisfaction questionnaire was used. The questionnaire was valid and reliable and used in a previous study. Data was analyzed by using Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS). Value of Cronbach's alpha was 0.86 which was considered highly reliable. Informed consent was obtained from every single patient. Results: Mean age of patients was 55.72, with range minimum 46 years to maximum 65 years. Satisfaction after six months of total hip arthroplasty in patients was somewhat high, 46.1% and the percentage of patients who were dissatisfied was 8.8%. Conclusion: Patient satisfaction is higher after total hip arthroplasty. Patients are satisfied with the result of the surgery, improving pain and improving functional activities.

Background: In Pakistan there is a high prevalence of hypertensive individuals. Identification of risk factors and their knowledge in young population could be advantageous. Objectives: To find the frequency of hypertension risk factors and level of knowledge among university students of twin cities within Pakistan. Methods: A cross sectional observational study was conducted among university students in twin cities of Pakistan. The sample size was 475. Male and female students with ages ranging from 18 to 30 years with no diagnosed cases of pulmonary and cardiac issues, cancer, physically disabled and impaired cognition were selected to fill the questionnaire. The WHO STEPS instrument was used to get the relevant information needed for this study which included demographics, tobacco use, diet, physical activity, and history of raised blood pressure, history of diabetes and also height and weight. Results: Out of 475 participants there were 235 (49%) males and 240 (51%) females. Knowledge score of 460 (96.8%) university students was poor. On the other hand, the frequency of risk factors was not found to be significant in this population. Conclusion: The study concluded that, although the frequency of risk factors for hypertension is low, university students of twin cities have poor knowledge regarding modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors of hypertension.
