Such fractures can significantly impact a patient's mobility and overall quality of life. Concurrently, fractures of the malleoli, specifically the lateral and medial aspects of the ankle, are common lower extremity injuries that can result from various mechanisms, including twisting or direct trauma. This case report presents the multidisciplinary approach employed in the successful treatment of a 26-year-old male patient with a rare combination of PFs involving both anterior and posterior columns, along with lateral and medial malleolus fractures. The patient underwent a series of surgical interventions to stabilise the fractures, followed by a tailored physiotherapy management plan. The report discusses the postoperative care strategies and the crucial role of physiotherapy in the rehabilitation process.

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation is used to help the quadriceps muscle weaken after ACL surgery. The ACL is the primary stabiliser for anterior tibial displacement and the secondary stabiliser for tibial rotation; an ACL-deficient knee can result in devastating consequences like articular cartilage injuries, meniscus tears, functional instability, and the risk of early-onset osteoarthritis. Following an ACL injury, the goal of ACL restoration is to restore functional knee stability. Journals have indicated an increased interest in combining ACL restoration with extraarticular augmentation in recent years. Several studies have demonstrated that the extra reconstruction not only protects the graft from high loads, but also enhances lateral rotational control. In patients with sore joints after ACL reconstruction, cryotherapy can help by releasing endogenous opiates...

To date, GCTs of the distal end of the ulna have been very rare. We document a case of a 38-year-old female with a distal ulna GCT, managed with en-bloc resection of the tumor with flexor carpi ulnaris and extensor carpi ulnaris tendon stabilization. The main aim of the GCT treatment is to prevent local recurrence and to maintain the function of the limb. Physical therapy was also given to the patient which helped in relieving pain, reducing edema, and increasing strength and range of motion. The patient was able to perform activities of daily living with the help of physical therapies and exercises. More research is needed to determine if broad excision of the distal ulna alone is a successful therapy for primary bone cancers affecting the distal ulna, including GCTs.

Low back pain is common, and its management depends upon the pain generators. There are various treatment options available, depending on the cause of the pain. In this case, a medical student with pain on a scale of 8/10 on activity came to the physiotherapy department for rehabilitation and pain relief. Her low back pain was chronic and non-specific. The aim of rehabilitation was to reduce the pain and make the patient pain-free. An integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique (INIT), along with a conventional physiotherapy approach, was given to the patient. The integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique can be used to reduce lower back pain and functional disability. After physiotherapy rehabilitation, the range of lumbar flexion improved. In patients presenting with low back pain, early physiotherapy should be started to maintain strength, reduce pain, and reduce functional disability.

It is regarded as a crucial component in the knee joint because it resists anterior tibial translation and rotational load. Young athletes who participate in sports that demand turning, decelerating, and jumping are at high risk for ACL injury. People who participate in Pivoting sports are likely to have them (e.g. football, basketball, netball, soccer, European team handball, gymnastics, downhill skiing). Environmental (e.g., high friction between shoes and the playing surface) and anatomical variables are also risk factors for ACL injury (e.g. narrow femoral intercondylar notch). Knee instability causes a reduction in activity, which can result in a decrease in knee-related quality of life. ACL injury risk factors have been classified as either internal or external to a person...

Treating chronic pain is always a challenge for the therapist. Low back pain (LBP) with a high prevalence is a point of concern. Various treatment methods are available. The two treatment methods are integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique (INIT) and Mulligan mobilization with movement (MWM). In this study, we have compared INIT with MWM. Method It was an interventional study carried out at Ravi Nair Physiotherapy College and Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital. A total of 80 participants with nonspecific LBP were included in the study. The participants were randomly divided into two groups and treated for two weeks with three weekly sessions. Statistical analysis and result Statistical analysis was done post the completion of sampling. Paired and unpaired t-tests were used. A pvalue of <0.05 was considered significant. The result was obtained after comparing the pre-and post-values of the numerical pain rating scale (NPRS), modified Oswestry disability index (MODI), and range of motion (ROM) of the lumbar joint. After two weeks of treatment, a reduction in functional disability and pain was seen in the INIT and MWM groups. ROM was increased after two weeks of treatment in both INIT and MWM groups. When compared, INIT showed better results than MWM. Conclusion In conclusion, we saw that the integrated neuromuscular inhibition technique might be a better technique than Mulligan mobilization with movement in terms of reducing pain and functional disability.

Increase in inpatient mobilization to improve patient treatment raises a physiotherapist’s physical demands and therefore risk of injury. With the context of a patient mobilization program, better work procedures and decrease in physiotherapist’s injuries while working, SPH program was incorporated. The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of the SPH program and mobilization in the context of efforts to improve health care quality and patient safety, as well as the safety of physical therapists. There will be 2 groups, intervention (SPH) and comparison (no-SPH) each group will consist of 30 patients. The intervention group will be consisting the patients admitted in rehabilitation unit for the first three months of the research and the comparison group will consist the patients admitted in rehabilitation unit in the last 3 months of the research. Intervention group w...

As prevalence of the disease is increasing it is a need of the hour to come up with a highly reliable exercise protocol which will be beneficial for the patients. This research aims to establish a beneficial and reliable exercise protocol which can be well tolerated by the patients suffering from osteoarthritis of knee. Methods-150 subjects will be selected. Randomly they will be assigned to two groups that is Group A and Group B using chit method. Group A will receive Blood Flow Restriction Training and Group B will receive retro walking training. Training will continue for 15 days. After 15 days patient will be reassessed for pain, strength and WOMAC score. Result-Studies have proved that Blood Flow Restriction Therapy and retro walking both the intervention are beneficial in patients of osteoarthritis to reduce pain, improve strength and WOMAC score. This study will provide us an intervention which is beneficial in treating osteoarthritis and is well tolerated by the patients. We may get a result where blood flow restriction would have a better impact on few outcome measures while retro walking may fetch better impact on other outcome measures. We may also conclude that combination of both the interventions is a better option for the treatment of osteoarthritis patients.
