Pilot study was conducted to assess the effectiveness of Senobi breathing exercise on perimenopausal symptoms among women in selected villages at Cuddalore, Tamilnadu. 30 samples were selected randomly. Consent obtained from each sample before the data collection. After collection of demographic variables, Senobi breathing exercises were thought to the samples.

Stroke is a sudden loss of brain function due to the interruption of its blood flow or the rupture of the blood vessels in the brain. It involves disruption in the motor, somatosensory, visual, speech, perceptual, cognitive, bowel and bladder dysfunctions. It leads to muscle tone alterations, muscle weakness and abnormal movements which consequently limit the ability to perform functional activities including self-care. This study aims to compare the effectiveness of Constraint Induced Movement Therapy with Bilateral Arm Training to improve upper limb motor functions in hemiparetic subjects. The CIMT group concentrated on repetitive task practice and adaptive task practice. The BAT group concentrated on the simultaneous movements of both the affected and unaffected upper limb in functional tasks in symmetric or alternating patterns. Thirty stroke survivors of both genders were included in this quasi experimental study with the age ranging 30 to 50 years who were medically stable, able to communicate properly, and diagnosed with ischemic stroke of more than 6 months duration. The outcome measures are Upper extremity Motor Activity Log and Fugyl-Meyer Assessment. The results from this study concluded the effectiveness of six weeks of constraint induced movement therapy could significantly improve the upper limb motor functions and functional activities in hemi paretic stroke patients. Hence the Constraint Induced Movement Therapy program had better therapeutic effect and significantly improves the movement capabilities of hemi paretic patients.
