Background: Stroke is the leading cause of physical dysfunction. It is imperative to identify the current level of physical activities of stroke patients to plan for effective rehabilitation strategies. Aim of the study was to evaluate the severity of performance impairment of stroke patients using Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Total motor score. Methods: Thirty-seven stroke patients were selected. The performance impairment was evaluated by FMA motor score. Both upper limb (UL) and lower limb (LL) motor function was evaluated. The maximum UL score was 66 and LL score was 34. The relationship of age and duration of condition with FMA motor score was studied by Pearson’s correlation coefficients. The difference in the gender and type of stroke with the FMA motor score was analysed by MannWhitney ‘U’ test. Result: The mean FMA total score was 43.81 ± 7.12. The relationship between age and total motor score was not significant with, r = 0.004, p = 0.980. There was no significant relationship between duration of the condition and motor recovery, r = 0.46, p = 0.304 > 0.05. The difference in the gender (z = 0.55, p = 0.579) and type of stroke (z = 0.06, p = 0.956) was not significant with the total motor score. Conclusion: It is concluded that stroke patients have severe performance impairment evaluated by FMA and Total motor score. Motor recovery was not dependent on the age and gender of patients

Background: The main source of disability that prevents individuals from being independent in doing everyday activities is functional movement disorders caused by bodily weakness in stroke conditions. This study aims to find out the level of independence of post-stroke patients. Methods: This study employs a descriptive quantitative approach based on the level of independence, type of stroke, and the side of the brain that is affected by stroke patients in Jakarta. Physiotherapists served as the enumerators for the study, which lasted for two months. The data were collected by observing and interviewing patients using the Functional Independent Measure (FIM) instrument. Results: A total of 101 stroke patients, including 78 ischemic stroke patients and 23 hemorrhagic stroke patients, were included in this study. A total of 40 individuals have left hemispheric lesions, of which 35 have ischemic types and 5 have hemorrhagic types. The overall number of patients with right hemisphere lesions is 61; of these, 43 have ischemic types and 18 have hemorrhagic types. Hemorrhagic stroke has a level of independence of 4.16 (SD + 1.06), while the ischemic stroke has a level of independence of 4.69 (SD +0.80). Ischemic stroke patients have a higher total FIM score than hemorrhagic stroke patients. Conclusion: Patients with ischemic stroke have a better level of independence than those with hemorrhagic stroke.

Results: the post test scores of NPRS and ODI of control and experimental group were analysed using two sample t test and paired t test. The data analysed showed statistically significant difference in the post test scores of NPRS and ODI of experimental group over control group at 5% significance level. Conclusion: The study concluded that muscle energy technique on rectus femoris is effective in reducing pain and functional disability in patients with low back pain.","PeriodicalId":275373,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Medical and Exercise Science","volume":"173 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132851849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Background: Hallux valgus (HV) is a progressive foot deformity manifested with the medial orientation of the first metatarsal bone, lateral deviation of greater toe. The prevalence of hallux valgus is 23%, both male and female are affected. The function of Hallux is to resist the overpronation of foot during the normal foot mechanics. Hallux serves as a fulcrum for forward propulsion. Cause of hallux valgus is multifactorial. Various treatment methods available such as foot exercise, manual therapy techniques, kinesiology taping techniques. In this study subjects provided with Taping techniques and Foot exercise. Objective of the study was to determine the effect of Tapping and Foot exercise on great toe angle and foot function in subjects with Hallux valgus. Methods: A total of 20 Subjects with Hallux Valgus of both genders, in the age group of 18-65 years were conveniently assigned into 2 groups. Group A (n = 10) received Taping and Foot exercise and Group B (n = 10) received Foot exercise alone, 3 sessions a week for 8 weeks. Foot function were evaluated with Foot function index and Finger Goniometer. Results: The difference in the post-test mean scores of group A and group B in Foot Function Index was 18.75 and 15.71 and Goniometer was 17.17 and 13.416 respectively. The result showed a significant improvement in Group A than in Group B at p < 0.0001. Conclusion: The study concludes that the Taping along with foot exercise is better management to improve the Foot Function in subjects with Hallux Valgus.

Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common musculoskeletal disorder resulting from ischemic response to the median nerve in the carpal tunnel. The thumb, index finger and middle finger are particularly affected by the compression of the median nerve through the carpal tunnel at the wrist. Methodology: There are several methods for diagnosing CTS, including history taking, physical examinations, diagnostic questionnaires, electro diagnostic testing, and ultrasound. Provocative tests can be a part of the CTS diagnostic tools and are crucial components of the physical examination. Result: Physiotherapy intervention is widely applied as a conservative treatment and a non-invasive method in clinical settings. Conclusion: For patients with mild to moderate CTS symptoms, conservative treatment is beneficial and recommended by numerous studies.
