“…Although few kinds of research used SF-36 total scoring, it has been discouraged by both the SF-36 scoring manual as well as developers [25]. SF-36 scores can also be converted into two different components including the Physical mental component (GH, PF, BP and RP) and Mental component summary (SF, VT, RE and MH) but in this study, eight health domains were addressed as recommended by RAND scoring manual: physical functioning, bodily pain, role limitations due to physical health problems, role limitations due to personal or emotional problems, emotional well-being, social functioning, energy/fatigue, and general health perceptions [26]. Scores included in each domain was converted in scale i.e., worst (0) to best (100).…”

Background The objective of the current study is to evaluate the effects of phantom exercises on phantom limb pain, mobility status, and quality of life in lower limb amputees treated with mirror therapy and routine physiotherapy. Methods It is a randomized controlled trial in which 24 unilateral lower limb amputees (above and below the knee) were randomly assigned to two equal groups i.e., control group (mirror therapy and conventional physical therapy) and experimental group in which, phantom exercises were given, additionally. Physical therapy included conventional therapeutic exercises while phantom exercises include imagining the movement of the phantom limb and attempting to execute these movements Data were collected at baseline, after 2 and 4 weeks of intervention using VAS (pain), AMP (mobility) and RAND SF-36 Version 1.0 (QOL) questionnaires. All statistical analyses were done with IBM SPSS 25.0 with 95% CI. Results Twenty-four amputees (17 males and 7 females) participated in this trial. The Mean age of the participants in experimental and control groups was 45.3 ± 11.1 years and 40.5 ± 12.5 years respectively. After the intervention, the pain (VAS score) was significantly lower in the experimental group (p = 0.003). Similarly, the experimental group demonstrated a significantly better score in the “bodily pain” domain of SF-36 (p = 0.012). Both groups significantly (p < 0.05) improved in other domains of SF-36 and ambulatory potential with no significant (p > 0.05) between-group differences. Conclusions The Addition of phantom exercises resulted in significantly better pain management in lower limb amputees treated with mirror therapy and routine physiotherapy. Trial registration This study is registered in the U.S National Library of Medicine. The clinical trials registration number for this study is NCT04285138 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier) (Date: 26/02/2020).

“…The use of fragility integrated rehabilitation leads to improvements in functional outcomes, mobility, cognition, and overall healthrelated quality of a life. [16][17][18][19][20][21] As per authors' knowledge, this intervention has not been practiced and tested as well as not any other standard rehabilitation protocol on hip fracture among the older adults of Pakistan. Therefore, this study is aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of FIRM on the Pakistani adult population after hip fragile fracture surgery.…”

“…This intensive interdisciplinary team approach is thought to be satisfactorily subtle for enhancing the functional outcomes in Sarcopenia patients with hip fracture and is a prognostic predictor for independent ambulation. 19 The quality of life for activities of daily living was measured through the EUR-Q5 dimensions questionnaire, which showed significant improvement in four dimensions except for the anxiety, which was insignificant. In a study conducted among the Korean community regarding the quality of life in elderly patients with hip fracture, reported that level of pain, discomfort, mobility, anxiety, and usual activities were significantly improved in patients receiving FIRM care when assessed 10 th days postoperatively.…”

Objective: to evaluate the effectiveness of fragility Fracture Integrated Rehabilitation Management (FIRM) on older adults of Pakistan after hip fracture surgery. Methodology: A one-group pretest–posttest designwas conducted at the National Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine (NIRM), Islamabad from March 2020 to May 2021.. A n=11 participants with age above 55 years, both male and female, with confirming diagnosed cases of hip fracture were included. Every participats receveied 10 sesssions of Fragility Fracture integrated Rehabilitation Management (FIRM) program in two weeks. Data was collected at baseline at 2nd day and after 10th session on 15th day, through the KOVAL scale to assess the walking ability, the Functional Ambulatory Category (FAC) to assess the level of independence, the modified Barthel index (MBI) for activities of daily living (ADLs), and quality of life (QoL) was assessed by EQ-5D. Data were analyzed by using SPSS Version 21. Result: the mean age 76.45±9.32, of which n=6 (54.6%) were males and n=5(45.4%) were females. after 10th sessions the QoL on EQ-5D, ambulation on FAC and KOVAL scale and the ADL on MBI were significantly improved (p<0.05) with large effect size, except for the anxiety domain of EQ5D and subdomains of MBI; Personal hygiene, feeding, Bowel control, bladder control, Wheelchair, and Chair & bed transfer showed no significant change (p>0.05). Conclusion: FIRM care is found to be effective in improving the walking ability, functional status, ADLs and quality of life in geraiatric population following a hip fracture surgery
