Materials and Methods: This were a case study to review the protocol of treatment of CMT and set an exercise rehabilitation program for children with CMT. The case was a typical case of CMT that was identified though a vast assessment. The objective analysis would preface a valid measurement tool that is Baseline Large Joint Arthrodial Goniometer. Then priorities the problem list that mainly focus on structural and functional dysfunction. The secondary complications also focus as state. In the study the impact of physical function of untreated CMT make a center of attention. The essential considering issues for treating CMT would address for set the rehabilitation goal easier. The rehabilitation protocol for CMT be contingent on the parents or caregiver education along with range of motion exercises which includes neck and trunk as well emphasis on symmetrical movement and overall, the environmental adaptations. Study Period: The case was taken from CRP Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh at the year 2015 data base. Conclusion: The case reported that the child with CMT had showed typical physical problems, so the exercise diversity in the frequency of interventions utilized was observed. Parental education and understanding were identified as very important issues during exercise rehabilitation program. The literature search did not find any established home exercise protocol for CMT. So, exercise is varying from child to child and the exercise program also dependents upon the child's home environment.

Displacement and resettlement trauma are associated with chronic disease onset and poor cognitive, physical, and mental health outcomes for refugee populations. To mitigate some of the deleterious effects of resettlement trauma, we propose a community-based rehabilitation program (CBRP) framework that is culturally sensitive, trauma-informed and focused on the vulnerabilities of women. The purpose of this novel CBRP framework is to address health inequities among a vulnerable refugee population through program development, with a focus on: (1) active participation of the refugee community throughout all levels of program planning; (2) intersectional, gender-focused analysis of power and privilege within the community and host country aimed at reducing ...

Premature child may have more health problems and higher risk of death. About 15 million children born too soon each year (5% to 18% of all deliveries) and now globally preterm birth and its complications are the most common cause of death among fewer than five years children. In many countries rates of premature births have increased between the 1990s and 2010s [1].

World-wide, 5% to 18% preterm child born at each year [1]. The rate of preterm birth in developed countries is increasing day by day. Early delivery of the child hampered the normal development of their organs including brain and lung. Therefore, these children suffer with long term neurological, cardiopulmonary and others health related complications [1].

Methods: Case control observational study whereas the total participants was fifty those who complete clubfoot management with Ponseti method , from that twenty five was with case that means those who had relapse and another twenty five selected as control group those who had no history of relapsing. Results: The result showed that mother or caregiver of the child did not comply with the use of Foot Abduction Brace (FAB). Noncompliance was the factor most related to the risk of relapse, with and odds ratio= 0.038 (P<0.01). Mother or care givers low educational level (less than secondary school certificate) also was a significant risk factor for relapse (odds ratio=0.022, p<0.01). In addition, the severity of the deformity, the age of the patient at the initiation of treatment, and previous treatment were not found to have a significant effect on the risk of relapse. Conclusion: The study showed t...

Bangladesh agreed with the declaration of Education for All, in which education is to be provided to all children with an inclusive approach. In addition, Bangladesh is also committed to achieve Millennium Development Goals, which articulated the rights of all children into education through uniform system. It is important to note that the trend of enacting inclusive education policy and legislation in Bangladesh is mainly based upon the international treaties. The purpose of this paper is to highlight challenges in inclusive education for the policy formulators, implementers, and future researchers to take measures accordingly to universalize inclusive education in the country. The challenges identified in inclusive education concerned unfulfilled requirements of children with special needs, unfriendly situation, inadequate material and non-conforming curriculum...

Methods: Prospective, cross sectional, correlational design (n=94) of postpartum Bangladeshi women, ages 18-44, with history of one or more obstetrical deliveries within the last three years. Subjects completed the Bengali version of the SF-36 and IIQ-7. Results: UI incidence was reported at 45% (n=39/86) total, 44% CS (n=18/41), and 47% (n=21/45) for NVD. IIQ-7 scores and UI presence showed strong correlations in both CS (rho=.729, 84, p<.001) and NVD (rho=.874, 84, p<.001). The highest impact of UI was reported in the CS group. One sample t-test reported significant differences for the sample when compared with the age equivalent norms for the SF-36 domain and component scores (p =.05-.001). Significant differences in HRQOL were reported for women with "pelvic/abdominal pain" and "UI" compared to those without "pain" or without "UI" and strong inverse correlations (rho=.597-.853) were reported for subjects with "pain" on the SF-36 domains (p=.001). The Mixed Birth Mode (MBM) group (n=8) reported UI incidence at 74% (n= 6/8), and pelvic/abdominal pain at 63% (n=5/8). Conclusion: No significant difference was found in UI and HRQOL measures by birth mode. However, pelvic, abdominal pain, and UI impact were found to be significant and inversely correlated to HRQOL. A significant decrease in HRQOL was reported compared to age related norm scores. Future research should address pelvic and abdominal pain and "mixed birth mode" impact on QOL and UI.
