Objective. The objective of the study was to compare the effectiveness of motor relearning programs and mirror therapy in improving the lower limb motor function of stroke patients.
Methods. A randomized controlled trial was carried out at Al Noor hospital and Al Jannat Medicare of Rahim yar khan from January 2020 to July 2020. The data was collected after the ethical approval from Isra University. The sample consisted of 30 subjects with the age range of 40 to 65 years. Group A received MRP treatment while mirror therapy was given to Group B. Modified Fugl Meyer Assessment scale was used to measure the outcomes variables.SPSS 20 was used to analyze the research data. Non-parametric Friedman Test was used for intra-group comparison while Karuskal Wallis test was used for inter-group comparison. Three assessments were performed, pre-assessment at 0 weeks, mid-assessment at 3rd week, and post-assessment at 6th week.
Results. Out of the total 30 participants in the study, males were 21 while females were 9. Patients with left hemiplegia were 22 while 8 were with right hemiplegia. The mean age was 53.80±7.66. The results showed that both treatments are effective in improving the motor function of stroke patients. But motor relearning program is more effective as a significant difference was found between the two treatments. (p<.005)
Conclusion. This study concluded that a motor relearning program is more effective than mirror therapy in improving the lower limb motor function of stroke patients.

Background: Increased navicular bone drop is associated with increased BMI in adults.
Objective: To evaluate the relationship of navicular bone drop with body mass index (BMI).
Material and Methods: A cross sectional study design was used with one hundred participants included as a sample from the University of Lahore (Gujrat campus). The participants were considered into four categories on the basis of their BMI values as underweight, normal, overweight and the obese. The navicular drop was calculated by using the navicular drop test. Mean, standard deviation and Pearson correlation coefficient were calculated. Data was analyzed by using SPSS version 21.
Results: Total participants were 200. Among them 102 were females and 98 subjects were males. The mean and standard deviation of age was 24±3.2 and BMI was 23±5.3. The mean navicular drop values were 8.3±3.3. Regarding to different types of BMI, navicular drop has been observed. About 24% navicular drop was seen in underweight, 43% in normal, 40% in overweight and about 90 % in obese subjects. A positive but weak to moderate correlation was found between the BMI and the navicular drop test. The Pearson correlation coefficient value was (r=0.359 p=0.00). The navicular drop test is reproducible and has excellent reliability
Conclusion: The present study found that there was a direct and positive correlation between the Body Mass Index and the navicular bone drop.
