“…Soft tissue mobilization physiological response includes removal of pain mediators, tissue revascularization and easing as muscle guarding. The positive impact is seen with reduction of pain and improved quality of life 6 . The role of soft tissue mobilisation is to restore the tissue's ability to cope with functional loading.…”

“…A single case study was done on 45 year old male subject with head and neck cancer undergone radical neck dissection. The patient reported reduction in pain, improvement in range of motion, reduced disability, improved strength and is returned to work after a week intervention, hence combined manual therapy techniques in the present study intervention is for a week based on findings in supportive literature [6].…”

“…Clinical features of post operative head and neck cancer subjects include pain, hoarsness of voice, coughing, trismus, decreased cervical and shoulder mobility, depression, anxiety, immobility, dysphagia, hearing impairem ent, lump in mouth, unexplained bleeding and ulcerative lesions [5]. Despite evidence, physical therapy exist throughout phases of treatment for head and neck cancer, Combined manual therapy in the form of mobilization, MET and soft tissue mobilization programs are rarely available for clinical practice [6]. Two case studies demonstrated positive effect of mobilization, MET, soft tissue mobilization, kinesiotaping and resistance exercises on cervical function in head and neck cancer [7,8].…”

Background: The burden of head and neck cancer in India has been increasing in recent years. Despite evidence that physical therapy exists throughout phases of treatment for head and neck cancer patients , combined treatment of manual therapy in the form of mobilization, muscle energy technique and soft tissue mobilization techniques are rarely available for clinical practice. Hence, the present study was taken up. Aim:To study the effect of combined manual therapy in form of mobilization, Muscle energy technique and soft tissue mobilization on neck pain, quality of life, mobility in Head and Neck Cancer Patients. Settings and Design:The experimental study was undertaken in a tertiary care referral hospital over a period of three months. Materials and Methods:A total of fifteen(15) subjects including eleven (11) males and four (4) females post operative head and neck cancer subjects were given combined manual therapyin the form of cervical mobilization, muscle energy technique and Soft tissue Mobilization for duration of a week during the hospitalisation phase. Pain was assessed using Numeric pain rating Scale, Range of motion of cervical joint, shoulder joint and Temporomandibular joint, Functional assessment was done using Neck disability index and FACT H&N Questionnaire. Statistical Analysis was done using SPSS Version 0.21. Students dependent 't' test was used to analyse the pre and post treatment difference in all outcome measures. Results:The study demonstrated improvement in all the outcome measures in the study, the significant difference was seen in with pd"0.001 except cervical rotation and shoulder range of motion. Conclusion:The study demonstrated Pain reduction, Improvement in Cervical, TMJ and shoulder range of motion, Improved Quality of life and reduction in disability following combined manual therapy approach.

“…despite claims concerning the importance of the post-surgery rehabilitation for the healing process in patients after radial head arthroplasty, the available papers lack specific recommendations or indications. Many authors [5,6,8,9] suggest that the rehabilitation protocol for patients undergoing surgery may be similar to that advocated after conservative treatment.…”

“…Therefore, postoperative management requires maintaining a balance between the protection of the reconstructed connective tissue structures and achieving proper joint mobility [5,7,9]. For the immediate postoperative period, the majority of available literature recommends immobilization of the operated limb in a 90-degree flexion of the elbow and regular active exercises with the assist of a therapist [2,9].…”

Radial head fractures are relatively common injuries -they represent about 1.5-4% of all fractures and approximately 1/3 of fractures of the elbow. Nevertheless, treatment algorithms and rehabilitation plans in such injuries still remain controversial. one of the treatment methods is arthroplasty of the radial head. it is suitable for patients classified as ii or iii Mason type with concomitant instability and limited mobility of the elbow joint. Arthroplasty of the radial head aims at restoring joint stability, as well as early mobilization and rehabilitation. Currently in Poland, 200-250 alloplastic implantations of the radial head are performed per year (according to the Central database of Arthroplasties) and this number is increasing annually. Consequently, physicians and physiotherapists may face that problem more frequently than only several years ago in their everyday clinical practice. For patients who underwent this type of surgery, there exists no unified, widely accepted rehabilitation protocol, neither in Poland nor worldwide. it has been proven that rehabilitation plays an important role in restoring the functioning of patients after arthroplasty of the radial head; however, it is difficult to find scientific reports and studies with therapeutic schemes that would provide guidelines for physiotherapy, active exercises, manual therapy, and muscle strength improving exercises. The aim of this review is to analyse and compare information about rehabilitation process after surgery of proximal radius that is available in the literature.The authors also present their own experience and results. Key words: radial head fracture, radial head arthroplasty, rehabilitation protocol, elbow injury
