Objectives:To assess dynamic balance and vertical jump pre and post Suspension training and Plyometrictraining in competitive basketball players. Methods:24 basketball players aged 18-24 were selected and randomly assigned to threegroups namely Suspension training, Plyometrics and the control group. Supervised sessions were held for 8 weeks, 2 times a week for 45 minutes. Pre and post assessment for dynamic balance and vertical jump was done. Results: Suspension training and Plyometric training both have shown a positive effect on dynamic balance( p <0.007 ) except for anterior direction and vertical jump (p <0.007) in basketball players. The results of the control group have shown a lot of variability as no specific training was given for dynamic balance and vertical jump. Conclusion:Suspension training and Plyometric training have positive effect on dynamic balance and vertical jump height. However, no training method is found to be more efficient than the other.

Background- Spinal cord injury is a devastating condition. In recent years, traumatic spinal cord injury has become one of the major disabling conditions in young males. These chronic complications negatively impact patients’ functional independence and thus affect the quality of life. Methods-Thirty-seven spinal cord injury patientsC6-C7 with American Spinal Cord Injury Association (C, D) who full-filled the inclusion criteria were recruited, out of which 7 discontinued the therapy program, 15 spinal cord injury patients in Group I (Virtual Reality with Task Specific Training) and 15 spinal cord injury patients in the Group II (only task specific) completed the study.Virtual Reality training was given as an intervention using NIRVANA which is a semi-immersive Virtual Reality training. Results-Group I, which received only Task Specific Training, revealed a statistically significantly positive change in Quality of life (Z = -2.671, p = 0.008) with a medium effect size of (r = 0.48). For Group II, which received Virtual Reality along with Task Specific Training,revealed a statistically significantly positive change in Quality of life (Z = -3.415 p = 0.001) with a large effect size of (r = 0.62) Conclusion-Both the groups showed significant positive improvements in quality of life inspinal cord injury patients, indicating that both task-oriented training and the use of Virtual Reality as treatment modalities have a direct impact on QoL. However, more significant improvement was seen in Group 2 where Virtual Reality was combined with Task Specific Training.

Introduction: Stroke is the sudden loss of neurological function caused by an interruption of the blood flow to the brain. Initially, some 80% of all patients with stroke experience motor impairments of the contralateral limb, i.e hemiparesis. Mirror therapy is relatively new therapeutic intervention that focuses on moving the unimpaired limb. Likewise, another technique called Mental imagery is the cognitive rehearsal of a task in the absence of movement. Aim and Objectives: To compare mirror therapy and mental imagery in improving ankle motor recovery in acute stroke patients. Methodology: 30 stroke patients were selected in the study, and were randomly assigned into two groups. Group A i.e. Mirror Therapy group (n=15) or the Group B i.e. Mental Imagery group (n=15). Both the groups received 30 minutes of their respective therapy that is mirror therapy and mental imagery and in addition to 30 minutes of conventional therapy which included neuro developmental facilitation technique, stretching, gait training that is a total of 1 hour per day for 5 days a week for 4 weeks. Modified Ashworth Scale, 10 Meter Walk test (10MWT), Fugl-Meyer assessment Lower extremity (FMA-LE) scale were administered pre and post intervention to assess the ankle motor function. Results: Only Fugl Meyer Assessment scores on comparison between Group A (Mirror Therapy) and Group B (Mental Imagery) revealed that statistically significant improvement was found in Group B (Mental Imagery) (t-value: 2.140; p-value: .041*). Conclusion: The present study concluded that Mental Imagery proved to be more effective than Mirror Therapy in improving ankle motor recovery in acute stroke patients.
简介中风是由于脑部血流中断而导致的神经功能突然丧失。最初，约 80% 的中风患者会出现对侧肢体运动障碍，即偏瘫。镜像疗法是一种相对较新的治疗干预方法，主要是移动未受损的肢体。同样，另一种名为 "心理想象 "的技术是在没有运动的情况下对某项任务进行认知预演。目的和目标：比较镜像疗法和心理想象在改善急性中风患者踝关节运动恢复方面的作用。方法：研究选取 30 名中风患者，随机分为两组。A 组即镜像疗法组（15 人）或 B 组即心理想象组（15 人）。两组均接受 30 分钟的镜像疗法和心理想象疗法，此外还接受 30 分钟的常规疗法，包括神经发育促进技术、伸展运动、步态训练，每天共 1 小时，每周 5 天，共 4 周。干预前后分别进行了改良阿什沃斯量表、10 米步行测试（10MWT）、福格尔-迈耶下肢评估量表（FMA-LE），以评估踝关节运动功能。结果显示通过对比 A 组（镜像疗法）和 B 组（心理想象），发现只有 Fugl-Meyer 评估得分在 B 组（心理想象）有显著改善（t 值：2.140；p 值：0.041*）。结论本研究认为，在改善急性中风患者踝关节运动恢复方面，心理想象比镜像疗法更有效。

Background: Forward head posture(FHP), or anterior head syndrome, is a condition where the head is positioned in frontof the body’s center of gravity. In this posture, the head is tilted forward and extended beyond its normal alignment withthe neck and spine. In a neutral position, the ear canal should align vertically with the shoulder, hip, and ankle. However,individuals with forward head posture have their head protruding forward, causing misalignment. This condition is becomingincreasingly common due to lifestyle factors such as sedentary activities, excessive screen time, and poor posture habits.It’s important to address forward head posture to prevent further complications. Corrective measures may include posturalexercises, ergonomic adjustments in workstations, and adopting proper posture habits in daily activities.Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of “Kendall’s exercise” among IT workers with FHP.Materials and Methods: A total of 50 subjects were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria and consent wasobtained from participants. Cranio-vertebral angle and the Neck Disability Index were assessed as pre and post-test.Results: The statistical examination of the forward head revealed a statistical significance between the pre and post intervention.Conclusion: The study concluded that “Kendall’s exercise” had improved forward head posture among IT workers, theseexercises may be useful in correcting the forward-facing posture.

The uncertainty and fear surrounding the pandemic can lead to increasedanxiety and stress, which can negatively impact sleep quality and duration.Purpose: The aim of this study is to find out the effect of vagal nerve stimulation on anxiety and sleep disturbancesamong geriatric population.Methodology: Using the Purposive Sampling method, a total of 20 individuals were chosen based on the inclusionand exclusion criteria. The participants were divided into two groups using the closed envelope method, and theytook part in therapy sessions lasting 30 minutes, three times per week for a period of four weeks. The control groupreceived Jacobson’s progressive relaxation technique, whereas the experimental group received non-invasiveTranscutaneous auricular vagal nerve stimulation.Result: With a p value of 0.001, transcutaneous auricular vagal nerve activation significantly improved sleepquality and reduced anxiety after 4 weeks.Conclusion: Study showed that transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation was effective in reducing Anxiety andimproving sleep quality in geriatric population.","PeriodicalId":516273,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy - An International Journal","volume":"11 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139609723","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: This study was developed to determine the effectiveness of obstacle training in frailty amonggeriatric population.Purpose: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of obstacle training in frailty among geriatricpopulation and to analyze the balance and gait analysis and number of falls.Method: A quasi experimental study was done in geriatric old age home with 30 samples by convenient samplingtechnique, allotted in a single group. In phase 1 the prevalence of frailty among Geriatric population will beexamined using the Edmonton frail scale. In phase 2 the Tinetti scale and morse fall scale were used as outcomemeasures.Results: According to the statistical analysis there is a clinically significant in groups, p value >o.oo1.Conclusion: We concluded that obstacle training has an improvement in reducing risk of frailty among geriatricage group population.
