Background: Stroke causes a variety of impairments that compromise the quality of life. Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is a technique used in rehabilitation medicine to treat individuals with decreased upper extremity functions. The study compares the effectiveness of modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT), proprioceptive training, and task-oriented training on upper extremity functions among stroke patients. Methods: This study was an experimental study of pre and post-type. The study was carried out in ACS Medical College and Hospital, Chennai. Sixty male and female samples from the stroke population were selected and allocated to three groups by random sampling method. Group A, B & C were allocated with twenty samples in each group. The study duration was six months with an intervention duration of 30 minutes per day/alternate days of a week for four weeks. The FMA-UE and Motor Activity Log assessed upper extremity function and pain as the main outcome measures. Dependent t-tests were used to find out the effects within the group. ANOVA was used to compare the effectiveness between the groups. Results: Comparative study between Groups A, Group B, Group C showed a significant difference in the effectiveness of Motor Function, Sensory Function, ROM, Joint Pain, Muscle use, and Quality of Movement with a P value of 0.0001 on functions of upper extremity among stroke patients. Conclusion: The study concluded that modified constraint-induced movement therapy got more improvement than proprioceptive and task-oriented training on upper extremity functions among stroke patients.

Background: Lymphedema post-mastectomy remains a challenging problem. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of shock wave electrohydraulic treatment (ESWT) for patients with pain and lymphedema. Methods: Thirty patients (30 women) with pain & lymphedema post-radical mastectomy were evaluated to participate in this Clinical trial. They were recruited from the Minia Cancer Institute-Minia University and Deraya University outpatient clinics. Their ages varied between the ages of 40 and 50 years. They were divided into two groups. Group (1) 'Group of studies': 15 patients seeking ESWT in addition to conventional medical care. Group (2) 'Control group': 15 people seeking conventional medical care only. Patients of the study group (1) were treated with a number of impulses, at least 500 shocks at E2 at 4Hz (equivalent to 0.11mJ/mm square energy). Treatment sessions were delivered twice weekly for six treatments (3 weeks). The assessment used a Visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain and arm circumference midway between the shoulder and elbow for lymphedema measurement. Results: showed that (ESWT) on pain and lymphedema measurement post-radical mastectomy effectively decreased pain as evidenced by the highly significant decreases in the visual analogue scale. These results revealed a substantial VAS reduction (P<0.0001). Effects of the ESWT on lymphedema measurement via the arm circumference measurement at the point where the shoulder and the elbow meet post-radical mastectomy were investigated. These results revealed a notable reduction in the mean value of the arm circumference measurement (ACM) (P<0.0001). Conclusion: The significant reductions in VAS and assessment of the ACM arm range show that the ESWT, in addition to conventional therapy, significantly impacted upper limb structural components following radical mastectomy.

Background: Risk-taking behaviors have emerged as a target for fall prevention. However, the risk-taking concepts are complex, and several approaches exist to identify risk-taking behaviors. In addition, studies of fall-related risk-taking behaviors have not yet been systematically evaluated. Methods: This scoping review was conducted in accordance with Joanna Briggs Institute’s methodology for scoping reviews. Six electronic databases were searched to identify studies published between 2000 and 2020. Studies were included in our review if they were conducted on community-dwelling older adults (≥ 65 years) and discussed fall-related risk-taking behaviors. Data extraction and analyses were completed using a table developed a priori by the research team. Results: Self-reported behaviors using qualitative methodology were the most common approach to identifying risk-taking behaviors in community-dwelling older adults. Generally, older adults are aware of their fall risk and tend to adopt behaviours to help mitigate it. However, older adults also described moments of deliberate risk-taking driven by the potential benefits of this behavior. Factors associated with risk-taking include an individual’s abilities, personal values, and physical and social environment. Conclusion: This review demonstrated that fall-related risk-taking behaviors are a highly individualized concept influenced by a number of factors. Therefore, future research should evaluate how risk appraisal, risk attitudes, and risk propensity predict fall-related risk-taking behaviors in community-dwelling older adults.

Background: Self-reported measures represent patients' perspectives toward their disease, but their performance levels may vary. Performance-based measures mimic the patient's functional activity movement, which helps evaluate specific task components, including how the therapist approached the task. Both measures report the patient's functional level from the patient's or therapist's perspective. The study was done to determine the correlation between self-reported and performance-based measures outcomes in non-traumatic stiff shoulder pathologies. Method: Self-reported outcome measure scores were recorded using the Shoulder Pain And Disability Index (SPADI), Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH), and Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS). Performance-based measures scores of the shoulder were given using function-related tests of the shoulder: 1) Hand to the neck, 2) Hand to scapula 3) Hand to the opposite scapula. Result: Inferential statistics were done using the Pearson correlation test, and the significance level was set at p<0.05. Pearson correlation test showed: 1) Weak statistically significant correlation between SPADI versus function-related test 1(r= 0.32), DASH versus Function-related test 1(r= 0.31), and function-related test 2(r= 0.31) and PSFS versus function-related test 1(r= 0.36). 2) Other correlations were Very Weak and non-significant. Conclusion: As the correlation between all three self-reported measures and each of the three function-related tests has become weak, there is a need to include both self-reported and performance-based measures in assessing patients with non-traumatic stiff shoulder pathologies.
