It is being used in a range of neuromuscular pain syndromes such as shoulder impingement syndrome in current study. In physical therapy, it is narrowly referred to as an intramuscular procedure for the treatment of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). Objective: To compare the conventional physical therapy with and without dry needling on pain, range of motion, and functional disability in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome. Methods: It was randomized controlled trial conducted on 66 patients of shoulder impingement syndrome based on inclusion criteria and divided randomly allocated equally in two groups of 33 in each of conventional therapy and dry needling group. The outcome measures used were numeric pain rating scale for pain, DASH for hand arm function and shoulder ranges of motion. The SPSS 25.0 was used to analyse data. The descript...

It is considered as a second leading cause of death globally and a major cause of disabilities for the patients surviving from its fatality. Monoplegia, Diplegia, Hemiplegia, Quadriplegia, hemiparesis are all the different gifts of the stroke given to multiple patients suffering from it. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the difference between the hemiplegic stroke patients who have undergone physical therapy treatment in contrast to those patients who have not taken any physical therapy treatment. Methods: Cross sectional study design was selected for the performance of the research. Research setting was a Government Sector Hospital. Specific balance and coordination exercises were given to the hemiplegic stroke patients and their effect was observed in the term of their recovery speed. Out of sam...

On the other hand, such factors were also looked into which were considered as obstacles by the physiotherapists in the use of the tools. Methodology: The estimated study population size was 242. Data was collected through e-mail as well as through one-on-one meeting with the physiotherapists by using a standard questionnaire (appendix I) and was analyzed through SPSS version 20. Results: It was found that 78 percent of the study participants were using the outcome measures in the assessments of the patients and for finding the progression in their condition. The feeling of the patient about the keen involvement of the physiotherapist in his treatment, enhanced communication between tw...
