Kinesiophobia is an irrational and debilitating fear of physical movement and activity resulting from a feeling of vulnerability to painful injury or re-injury. According to the concept of avoidance of fear, pain is interpreted as threatening, which can trigger pain-related fears and anxiety leading to avoidance behavior. Avoidance action involves a process/period characterized by a person stepping back from undertaking daily tasks like exercise, socializing, and work, which increases the intensity of the painful experience. In hospital settings, kinesiophobia needs to be resolved to ensure a positive result in rehabilitation interventions. The femur is the lower extremity's primary weight-bearing bone. Early fracture fixation in the shaft of the femur allows for early mobilization, thereby reducing the risk of hip and knee stiffness as well as quadriceps and hamstring wasting. In this report, we present the case of a 16-year-old girl with an alleged history of fall who was admitted to Acharya Vinobha Bhave Rural Hospital (AVBRH), Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences (DMIMS) Deemed To Be University (DU), Wardha, India, with primary complaints of pain and swelling over the left thigh. She was diagnosed with a left midshaft femur fracture. An open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) femur interlock nailing was performed to stabilize the fracture, and she was referred to physiotherapy after surgery for further management. The comprehensive rehabilitation program was helpful in alleviating the severe kinesiophobia in the patient, and she was able to resume her activities of daily living (ADLs) independently.
Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a disorder of movement that is seen in early childhood. Children with CP sometimes are not able to walk, sit, crawl, or rollover, as early as other kids of their age. This study aims to find the impact of mindfulness meditation on the emotional maturity of mothers of cerebral palsy children.
Methods: We did this research at Acharya Vinoba BhaveRural Hospital, Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha, we included 50 mothers of children of cerebral palsy visiting at Paediatric therapy unit at Ravi Nair physiotherapy college, Sawangi (Meghe), Wardha. The Purposive Sampling Method was used and the study duration was 6 months. We used variables such as age, educational status, occupational status, income, marital status, region, and emotional maturity scale questionnaire.
Results: The research analysis revealed a high degree of emotional immaturity in the mothers of children with CP from the rural population. 4% of the women were emotionally immature and 96% of them had an extremely immature type of EMS. After giving intervention there was an improvement and the EMS score at 12 weeks was 2% were emotionally immature and 48% were extremely emotionally immature at 24 weeks 0 % were emotionally immature and 24% were extremely emotionally immature.
Conclusion: Education has a marked effect on people. Mental health training is among the most efficient way of controlling emotional debility and making mothers emotionally strong and preventing social harm. This research looked at the impact of mindfulness meditation on the mental health of mothers of cerebral palsy children.
