Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the leading causes of childhood disability worldwide. The exact etiology of CP is poorly understood, but many risk factors are related to problems during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. The age and sex-matched control study were done to evaluate the association of perinatal risk factors with the development of CP among children in a rural area. Methods: The study was conducted in the Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR). Seventy clinically diagnosed CP children as cases and 70 children without CP as controls were included. Information regarding perinatal risk factors was collected from the parents of the children. Data were collected and statistically analyzed by using the Mc-Nemar chi-square test. Results: The study results suggested that children with male sex (53%) had a higher incidence of CP compared to female (47%) children. Spastic diplegia (60%) was the most common subtype of CP. The significant ‘p’ value (< 0.01) reveals that all the perinatal risk factors are associated with the development of CP. Conclusion: This study concluded that spastic diplegia was the most common subtype of CP. The perinatal risk factors such as preterm, low birth weight, birth asphyxia, and neonatal seizures had a significant association with the development of CP.

Background: Frozen shoulder is defined as the painful and disabling condition with unknown etiology. It has a limited shoulder range of motion due to decreased capsular flexibility and altered muscle function. Assessment on the frozen shoulder is needed, and it is vital to know the alteration in scapular muscles in the shoulder range of motion during arm elevation. The intention of conducting this study is to reach conclusions of tightness of a muscle in the upper trapezius, pectoralis minor muscle, and frozen shoulder levator scapulae showing limited ranges. Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, 50 subjects of age 30 and above were assessed for muscle length in the frozen shoulder and unaffected shoulder. Subjects with shoulder pain with frozen shoulder stage 2 and above are allotted into the affected shoulder, and unaffected shoulder; both groups were assessed. The following parameters were measured: ROM of the shoulder, SPADI ratings, short pectoral thickness, levator scapulae length, and upper trapezium muscle length. Results: Decreased shoulder flexion, extension, abduction, and limited rotations were the problems associated with frozen shoulder. Pearson correlation coefficient for PMI and LSI shows Positive Correlation r = 40.6% on the affected side. Pearson correlation for PMI and UTI shows Positive Correlation r = 13.4%. Pearson Correlation for LSI and UTI shows Positive Correlation r= 28.1% on the affected side. Conclusion: There was a correlation between upper trapezius, levator scapulae, and pectoralis minor muscle length. Most of the affected side shoulder showed the tightness in the pectoralis minor muscle.

Background: A large number of children with disabilities exist, who have special educational needs and a delay in psychomotor development; they are frequently incorporated into student integration programs (SIP), forming part of the regular class and receiving complimentary technical and educational assistance. The health system has historically handled these cases through traditional physical therapy; however, currently, other complementary treatment techniques have arisen that produce benefits in the physical, psychological, cognitive, and social aspects of the child. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of an Equine therapy program on the psychomotor development of SIP students. Methods: A quantitative study with a quasi-experimental design and convenience sampling was conducted. Eighteen students (ten men and eight women) from SIP were obtained to establish a control group (N=9) and an experimental group (N=9). The intervention consisted of an 18-weeks program of equine therapy with two sessions each week. Psychomotor development was assessed before and after the intervention with the “Test de Desarrollo y Aprendizaje” (TADI). Results: There was a significant improvement in psychomotor development (p<0,001) and in the cognitive and motor skills at the end of the intervention (p<0,05), the effect size obtained in the psychomotor development construct and the cognition and motor skills indicators were large (d> 0,8). Conclusion: Statistically significant changes were found in the experimental group comparing the initial and final values after the intervention through many variables. It is then possible to conclude that equine therapy has a moderate to large impact on psychomotor development of SIP students, which was also statistically significant.
背景:存在大量的残疾儿童,他们有特殊的教育需求和精神运动发育的延迟;他们经常被纳入学生整合计划(SIP),成为常规课程的一部分,并获得免费的技术和教育援助。卫生系统历来通过传统的物理治疗来处理这些病例;然而,目前,其他补充治疗技术已经出现,在儿童的身体,心理,认知和社会方面产生益处。本研究旨在评估马术疗法对小学生心理运动发展的影响。方法:采用准实验设计和方便抽样的方法进行定量研究。选取苏州工业大学18名学生(男10名,女8名)作为对照组(N=9)和实验组(N=9)。干预包括一个为期18周的马治疗计划,每周两次。心理运动发展在干预前后通过“Desarrollo y Aprendizaje测试”(TADI)进行评估。结果:两组患者在精神运动发展方面均有显著改善(p < 0.05)。结论:实验组通过多个变量比较干预后的初始值和最终值,发现有统计学意义的变化。因此,我们可以得出结论,马治疗对SIP学生的精神运动发展有中等到较大的影响,这也具有统计学意义。

Objective: The objective of this study was to find out whether there was any shoulder instability prevailing in the shot put throwers due to the rotational activities achieved in the respective sport. Methods: A total of 76 shot put throwers were recruited for the study. The multidirectional instability of the shoulder joint was tested by performing special tests. Results: The study revealed that out of 76 shot put throwers, 49 individuals were found to be having shoulder instability, and 27 individuals were not having shoulder instability. This was confirmed by using a special test like the Sulcus sign and Rowe test followed by statistical analysis. The individuals diagnosed with multidirectional instability showed Sulcus sign and Rowe test positive, of which 30 individuals showed both the test positive and 19 individuals showed only Rowe test positive. Conclusion: About 64.47% of individuals were diagnosed with multidirectional instability in the shot put throwers while the rest 35.52% of individuals showed no signs of instability.

Background: Reasoning refers to logical thinking involving problem-solving and decision-making skills. Physical Education teachers need to manage teaching and learning processes efficiently to build reasoning ability among students. The purpose of this study was to identify the students’ reasoning achievement level based on the net and wall category using RSAT in Physical Education. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used in this study in four schools in the district of Hilir Perak, Perak. The sample of the study consisted of 240 Form 2 students who used RSAT instrument (validity, r = .78; reliability, r = .74) in the pre-test and post-test. The treatment group underwent teaching and learning programs based on the net and wall TGfU model while the control group underwent the badminton technical model. The subjects of the control group received six teaching and learning sessions based on the plans provided. Results: The pre-test result of treatment group showed overall (M = 2.21; SD = 0.30) compared to the control group (M = 2.18; SD = 0.43). The students of the treatment group (M = 3.64; SD = 0.67) showed higher mean score compared to control group (M = 2.88; SD = 0.82) in post-test. The achievement level of the treatment group students showed that the majority of respondents achieved good level (n = 85; 60.70%) while the control group achieved pass level (n = 62; 44.30%). Conclusion: The study concluded that the use of RSAT could improve the reasoning level among students holistically and comprehensively. The implication of the study suggested an RSAT instrument to be used as an alternative instrument for determining the level of the learning domain based on reasoning to achieve higher-order thinking skills.

Background: the deformation of the hallux into a valgus constitutes the most frequent deformation of the forefoot and one of the most performed corrective surgeries in the region. This deformation is the cause of many biomechanical disorders and causes gait disturbances. This review aims to analyze the restoration of space-time and kinematic parameters of walking in the aftermath of corrective surgery for hallux valgus. Methods: four studies were analyzed according to the main criteria of walking speed, support time, step length and kinematics of the ankle and foot before and after the intervention. Results: If some of the results obtained in the analyzed works show an improvement of these criteria in post-operative, the subjects having benefited from hallux valgus surgery seem to present some persistent issues in the spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters. Conclusion: This work does not demonstrate the superiority of one surgical technique over another in the recovery of gait. This recovery does not seem absolute, but this review highlights above all the lack of literature on this subject.

This deformation is the cause of many biomechanical disorders and causes gait disturbances. This review aims to analyze the restoration of space-time and kinematic parameters of walking in the aftermath of corrective surgery for hallux valgus. \u0000Methods: four studies were analyzed according to the main criteria of walking speed, support time, step length and kinematics of the ankle and foot before and after the intervention. \u0000Results: If some of the results obtained in the analyzed works show an improvement of these criteria in post-operative, the subjects having benefited from hallux valgus surgery seem to present some persistent issues in the spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters. \u0000Conclusion: This work does not demonstrate the superiority of one surgical technique over another in the recovery of gait. This recovery does not seem absolute, but this review highlights above all the lack of literature on this subject.","PeriodicalId":42989,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Physiotherapy","volume":"85 1","pages":"26-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2020-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82184763","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: It is essential to find out the presence of shin splint in recreational marathon runners to prevent the injury from causing more damage. This study was conducted to identify shin splint in recreational marathon runners in Krishna Hospital, Karad. This study was designed to provide meaningful insight into the cause of shin splint in recreational marathon runners. Objectives of the study were to find out the impact of shin splint in recreational marathon runners and to assess the severity of shin splint in recreational marathon runners of age group 20-30 years both males and females in Krishna Hospital, Karad. Material and Methods: 190 recreational marathon runners who fit in the criteria were given Runner’s Questionnaire and were asked to fill it. Result: There was marked significance pain was present during(p=0.04) and running throughout(p<0.0001) in recreational marathon runners. Conclusion: It was concluded from the present study that there is a prevalence of shin splint in marathon runners. Shin splint was found more in females (55.3%)than in males (44.7%). Based on the duration of pain and shoe surface was found to be more prevalent to cause shin splint in marathon runners.
