Avulsion fractures of tibial attachment of PCL are not observed very often. PCL injuries are uncommon; especially those involving tibial aspect/fragment are rare. On the basis of the site of damage: Hyperflexion, Hyperextension, Pretibial trauma, etc. are the considered causes of injury. Injury to the PCL results changes in the kinematics of the knee. Changes in contact pressure have been demonstrated in both the patellofemoral and the medial tibiofemoral compartments after sectioning of the PCL, with significant increase in joint forces. This alteration in the normal kinematics may explain the tendency for the development of degenerative changes in the above mentioned compartments after PCL injury. Physiotherapy plays a very vital role in the treatment and management of such cases. Here, we report a case of a 25year old young man who was admitted to Acharya Vinobha Bhave Rural Hospital (AVBRH), Datta Meghe Institute of Medical Sciences (DMIMS), Deemed to be University (DU), with an alleged history of slip and fall from two-wheeler due to RTA sustaining injury to the right limb, particularly on the knee and further complained of pain & swelling over the knee along with difficulty in walking. On examination and investigation it was diagnosed as the case of avulsion fracture of tibial attachment of PCL. And so was operated and treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). Thereafter, was referred to the Physiotherapy Department for further rehabilitation. The purpose of this study is to: Discuss the epidemiology& Operative method. Discuss the physiotherapeutic management and rehabilitation of PCL tears and their outcomes.

“…Genetic changes in the dystrophin gene make it impossible for the body to produce the protein dystrophin, which is essential for muscle contraction. Damage to muscles occurs once the muscle contracts, and is healed but proteindeficient, leading to a muscle that is still weak [11,12].…”

Background: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) seems to be the most common X-linked muscular dystrophy condition in children marked by proximal muscle weakness and calf hypertrophy and affected mostly in boys. In more than 20 muscular dystrophies the most prevalent form is Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Each 1/3500 male births, the presence of DMD worldwide, indicating that in the UK alone there are approximately 2400 people living with DMD. Assessing improvements in severity, range of motion and functional mobility, implementation of therapies and guidance on positioning are important key factors. Clinical Finding: Mostly in proximal muscles around the hips and shoulders, which are those around the trunk of the body, muscle weakness occurs mainly. In the lower extremities, weakness usually begins proximally, and then passes distally. Symptoms typically begin about the age of 1-3 years. To see the child run and get up off the floor while searching for signs of DMD is necessary. Diagnosis: A very common physical finding in boys with Duchenne's is Gower's Sign. In order to get up, it requires using their hands to 'climb' their legs. It is because of a weakness in the boy's hip muscles, which was seen in this patient in progressive in nature. The proper examination and evaluation the symptoms the child presented to the physiotherapy clinic played an important in reaching to the diagnosis of the condition. Conclusion: Prevent the child from developing contracture, correct posture of the child and maintain quality of life these are important criteria in for the child suffered from Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

“…To help restore normal muscle function, facial muscle strengthening exercises and modalities were given. In our plan, as patient impairment varies with rehabilitation, the exercise regimen transitions with time [13,14]. Few of the related studies were reported [15][16][17].…”

Affecting the seventh cranial nerve, known as Bell's palsy and its neuropathy. It is a disfiguring disorder with significant impact on patient’s physical mental and social health. It is normally caused by inflammation caused by traumatic, infectious, inflammatory or compressive conditions, and cranial nerve edema may lead to compression and eventual ischemia. In comparison with the central cause peripheral cause leads to more serious form of Bell’s palsy. The symptoms usually include reduced production of tears, altered taste, facial pain, otalgia and aural pressure. the recovery is usually complete while in some cases incomplete recovery is seen. For treating Bell’s palsy a multidisciplinary approach is required to completely return back to normal. A case of female patient whose age 43 year old came to the right hemifacial palsy department has been identified. There was a affected movement of right side eyebrows and affected right forehead movement during clinical evaluation, spontaneously opening and closing of the right eye, difficulty to close the right eye. No conclusive etiology could be traced out after a series of investigations, hence diagnosed as right side Bell’s palsy. We address the clinical characteristics and modalities of care for Bell’s palsy in this article. Education, facial muscle strengthening exercise, eye defense exercises, modalities and acupuncture were included in the physiotherapy intervention.
