Background: Cervical Spondylosis, commonly known as Cervical Osteoarthritis, is a kind of degenerative osteoarthritis of the joints between the spinal vertebrae's and the neural foramina. It's a condition characterized by changes in the cervical bones, discs, and joints as a result of regular aging wear and tear. Spondylosis of the cervical spine is most common in 40s and 50s. Case Presentation: A 65 years old male came to physiotherapy department with complaints of pain in left upper limb and neck and weakness in his left upper back muscles and unilateral since 2 months. Clinical impression showed cervical non radiculopathy. X-ray of cervical spine revealed osteophytosis and narrowed inter- vertebral space, seen in C6 and C7 cervical vertebral bodies with straightening of cervical spine. Cervical Distraction and compression test was positive. Conclusion: A well planned physical therapy intervention has shown significant improvement in cases with cervical spondylosis in relieving the symptoms and improving quality of life.
The knee is one of the largest and most complex joints in the body. The knee joins the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia). The smaller bone that run alongside the tibia and the knee cap are the other bones that makes the knee joint. Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and often affects the knee, due to ageing. It can be common in children also. Prompt physical therapy leads to achieve functional goals. Bow leg deformity also called as genu varum. In this the legs are curved outwards at the knees. It is rarely serious and usually goes away with treatment. A 58-year-oldlady presented with genu varum which was diagnosed since last six years. The patient complains of chronic pain and was unable to walk and sit on the floor. The patient started physiotherapy treatment which comprise of exercises, electrotherapy, gait training for a period of six weeks which resulted in improvements in pain, range of motion, functional activities. The present case report suggests that classic and prompt structure physical rehabilitation led to improving the functional goals progressively and significantly which majorly leads to a successful recovery
Background: An additional rib that develops from the seventh cervical vertebra is known as a cervical rib, a congenital anomaly placed above the typical first rib, affecting 0.2- 0.5 percent of the total population. It may be seen on either the left or right sides. The majority of patients have little or no complaints and are identified by chance during an X-ray or CT scan. Due to the extreme compression on the arteries, veins and nerves caused by the position of the rib, which varies in shape and size, they might develop thoracic outlet syndrome. A cervical rib is a prolonged ossification of the lateral costal segment of the Cervical 7th vertebra. Clinical Presentation: A 18 years old female patient was diagnosed with cervical rib on X-ray due to persistent pain at right hand. Patient concern with reduced mobility of the right upper limb and unable to lift the hand. The patient went physiotherapy treatment which comprise of exercise and electro therapy for 10 weeks which resulted in improvements in pain and range of motion and functional activities Conclusion: The case report suggest that a prompt structured physical rehab let to improving the functional goals progressively and significantly which is a measured aspect leading to a successful recovery.
Background: Lateral epicondylitis (LE), most commonly referred to as Lateral Elbow Tendinopathy (LET) or Tennis Elbow is one of the commonest repetitive stress syndromes seen in elbow joint. Tendinopathy, an injury to forearm extensor muscles. These muscles arise from the distal end of humerus from lateral epicondylar region. In many cases, involvement of extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle’s insertion is seen. This study focuses on the treatment of a person with LE which occurs in repeated upper extremity movements. There is no such research relevant to PowerBall device exercises on Lateral epicondylitis patients' pain and function. “PowerBall device” exercise is considered to be an effective resistance training, putting extrinsic and intrinsic pressure on wrist, elbow and shoulder muscles and has been shown to improve strength, function, ROM, tennis elbow pain and quality of life. Whereas MMWM has been proven to reduce the pain in patients with LE. Methods/Design: The participants (n=50) with lateral epicondylitis will be included in a single-blinded, randomised control trial. Participants will be categorised into either a control group or an intervention group after performing baseline assessments and randomization. The participants in the control group will be given Mulligan Mobilisation with Movement, and those in the intervention group will be given “PowerBall device” exercise and conventional physiotherapy. Basic exercises and ultrasound will be given to both groups with the given protocol. We will evaluate pain, function, grip strength and Range of motion, pre and post intervention period. Discussion: Efficacy of the intervention is evaluated by analysing the pain and function in patients with lateral epicondylitis using PRTEE scale, and grip strength using Hand-held Dynamometer. The results from the study will significantly provide affirmation on the application of “PowerBall device” exercise and Mulligan Mobilisation with Movement on the patients with lateral epicondylitis.The clinical trial registry-India(CTRI) registration number for this trial is CTRI/2021/05/033363.
Background: The most common fractures seen in senior osteoporotic patients are intertrochanteric (IT) fractures, which are usually caused by a simple fall in the house. The number of old patients is expected to double by 2040 due to an increase in the number of elderly patients with osteoporosis. Understanding key aspects of IT fracture, therapy such as stability, reduction, and the involvement of posterior medial and lateral walls, will aid in implant selection for a better outcome.This fracture interferes with the normal functioning of the body in day-to-day life. Therefore, physiotherapy rehabilitation after surgery is essential to get back to normal functioning. Case Presentation: A 55- year-old male patient who came with complaints of pain and swelling in right hip, unable to walk. Patient was under the influence of alcohol when he fell from the bed. He experienced sudden and severe pain in right hip and was unable to stand. His relatives brought him to Acharya Vinobha Bhave Rural Hospital (AVBRH), Sawangi, Wardha, Maharashtra for further management. Dynamic Hip Screw was applied for the fixation of Intertrochanteric Fracture. Further on rehabilitation was started, which aimed to restore mobility, regain full range of motion and develop muscle strength. Conclusion: The Intertrochanteric fracture of femur is a form of fracture with a high occurrence. The above case presentation concludes that a traditional surgical procedure combined with timely planned physiotherapy rehabilitation contributed to progressive improvement in functional goals, which is an important factor in achieving a good recovery in such post-operative cases.
