COVID-19 is a pathogen which is transmitted by the respiratory route may be sufficient enough to prove that mass gatherings, mass migrations and other types of clusters play a menacing role in the spread of contagious diseases. Globally, the source of several infectious diseases includes mass gatherings for sports events, religious events, concerts etc. People participating in such clusters as religious pilgrims, Olympic spectators and others becomes a carrier for leading to spread of disease. So any social gathering relating to religion or any other should be banned—guidelines developed by WHO are vital data for central organizations for formulating the multitude planning for a cluster. Risk evaluation, response, and monitoring are the basis of preparation; the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 31000 is a well-accepted risk management methodology. In India, control and preparedness are dependent on the state Government because of Nipah virus which was experienced by Kerala in 2018. Hence this state can maintain low mortality because of the use of contact tracing, social distancing and avoiding clusters. All the pandemic has made us realize the need to respect the species, social and environmental relationships to live and flourish. The epidemiological investigations should be carried out timely to confirm the cluster belonging to a particular family, workplace or public area. The strategies such as the reversal of social gatherings (such as work from home and home-schooling), social distancing and cancellation of social events can prevent mass gathering and a global threat of an epidemiologic expansion of disease outbreaks.
Musculoskeletal illnesses or ailments that are linked to work-related risk factors are known as work-related musculoskeletal conditions. For this study, chronic neck pain is defined as the discomfort experienced between the C1 and C7 anatomic areas of the cervical spine as well as the adjacent muscles, excluding the shoulders. In the workplace, the term "ergonomics" refers to the interactions between workers and other workplace components. Clinically, deep cervical flexor training and retraining are used for treating neck pain and enhancing the capacity to maintain an upright posture. Ergonomic training and therapeutic exercises are significantly effective in reducing pain and disability and enhancing posture in the cervical region.
The sacroiliac joint is frequently broken apart by high-energy trauma, which increases fatalities and complications from pelvic injuries. Ilium fractures are high-energy pelvic fractures that often progress from the iliac crest to the greater sciatic notch. Concomitant head injury exsanguinations and uncontrollable bleeding within the pelvis are considered important causes of mortality. In contrast, some assume that such extensive bleeding is extremely uncommon and that accompanying injuries could result in increased mortality. A shorter healing period and faster patient mobilization are possible with surgically treated Tile's Type B and C fractures. Accident-related fractures can lead to decreased independence and functioning, restricted mobility, lowered self-confidence, and a worse quality of life; these fractures are caused by trauma, most frequently from minor falls and age-related osteopenia. By reducing discomfort, restoring range of motion and muscular strength, and assisting with early ambulation/loading of the fractured limb, early physical therapy intervention speeds up the clinical recovery of patients with fractures. When one cannot elevate the forefoot, it results in foot drop because of a lack of dorsiflexor strength in the foot. These may induce a risky antalgic gait, leading to falls-the diminished ability to lift the foot of the ankle or the toes (dorsiflexion). Injuries, including fractures, joint dislocations, or hip replacement surgery, can also result in a drop foot. The peroneal nerve, which innervates the tibialis anterior, is the muscle responsible for dorsiflexion, as it arises from the sciatic nerve's branch. Due to the foot drop, the anterior tibialis muscle will shorten and cause spasms in the calf muscle. After surgery, the patient was dependent and had difficulty going about his everyday life. However, the physiotherapy intervention improved the patient's pain and physical functionality. By lowering discomfort, restoring range of motion and muscular strength, and facilitating early ambulation/loading of the fractured limb, this study shows that combining definitive surgical methods with early physical therapy intervention speeds up the clinical recovery of patients with fractures.
Muscular dystrophies (MDs) are a category of hereditary illnesses characterized by the gradual malfunction and/or weakening of the skeletal muscles. This disease of the muscles also results in hypotonia and joint contracture, along with raised serum creatine kinase (CK) levels. To prevent complications, continuous physiotherapy is advised for children with muscular dystrophy, which is even asked to perform at home as a home exercise program (HEP). As a result, the home exercise program (HEP) is critical in maintaining the optimal health of children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). The present coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has adversely affected these children as there was very little scope to get direct help from a physiotherapist. Meanwhile, the home program was continued by many to compensate for the direct benefit. However, because of the lack of specific guidelines and structured methodology to follow for a home program, there was a deterioration in the health status of many children. There is a need to understand how the children are getting affected and the way the home program can be refined to help needy children with muscular dystrophy. Our scoping review aims to identify the present home program patterns being followed for children with DMD and their scope for refinement. The data were collected from electronic databases including PubMed, ProQuest, Cochrane, and Web of Science. We searched four electronic databases until September 2021. We included the published case studies, observational and experimental studies that described the positive impact of home exercise programs, and the methodology they followed as an alternative to institution-based physiotherapy. One hundred thirty-eight titles were screened, and 58 met the inclusion criteria. Along with regular physiotherapy, the incorporation of HEP helped in early complication prevention in patients with muscular dystrophy. The HEP was found to be a successful adjunct in the COVID-19 scenario. This review presents different therapeutic measures that can be taken for the prevention of complications in patients with MD and how the HEP plays an important role in removing the gaps on how HEP is beneficial in the COVID-19 scenario and a scope to refine the present methodologies for more accurate management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
