Spinal cord injuries from CIDP-related spinal tumors have no evidence-based rehabilitation methods. This case report discusses CIDP, spinal cord lesion owing to a spine tumor, and tertiary care interdisciplinary rehabilitation. It shows how medical knowledge, clinical reasoning, and evidence guide outcome measures, care plans, and clinical decisions help to overcome CIDP. Methods: In this report, we follow a 27-year-old male who began experiencing gradual paresthesia and mild weakening in his lower extremities for six weeks. After two months, the lumbar spine had the initial operation (laminectomy) because of the extreme pain. After the operation, he was pain-free, able to walk, and even started riding again. Pain in his lower midback, similar to cramping, and moderate swelling in his left ankl...

And the various forms of marginalization and discrimination that women and girls encounter worsen the cycle of violence to which they are subjected. Urinary incontinence can be evident in women after multiple child births or with increasing age. Nonsurgical management is considered as the first line of management. The preliminary management of simple SUI includes a variety of noninvasive interventions, including behavioral modification, pelvic floor exercises (PFEs) with or without biofeedback, and other accessory teaching aids. Case Report: The purpose of the present study is to find out if repetition of pelvic stabilization exercise impacts upon the management of stress urinary incontinence. For the management of urinary incontinence, patients have been treated by A Bangla booklet on urinary incontinence, Kegal exercises and pelvic floor exercises in a booklet instruction in Bangla, an exercise logbook to maintain exercise. All the pelvic floor exercises started with 10 repetitions of exercise each, increasing 10% of exercise each week for a 4-week duration. After 4 weeks, clinically significant improvements were found in the strength and endurance of pelvic floor muscles and in the ICIQ-UI questionnaire (brief). Conclusion: urinary incontinence can degrade a patient's physical, functional, and daily living status. Structured exercise therapy determined by physiotherapists contributes to the improvement of muscle function, genito-urinary system function, and quality of life for these patients.

This study investigates the effectiveness of scapular mobilization as a potential intervention to alleviate this pain and enhance the quality of life for these individuals. Objectives: The objectives were to identify the effectiveness of scapular mobilization in reducing shoulder pain among patients with spinal cord injury. Methodology: Pretest and posttest designs were used to conduct this study. 16 participants were selected according to inclusion criteria. The 'VAS' and 'Goniometer' were used to assess the shoulder pain and joint range of motion (ROM). Analysis was done through SPSS v22. To analyze the pre-post test data, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used. Result: Among 16 participants, the mean age was 27.69 with a standard deviation of ±11.5, median 27, mode 18, maximum age 52, minimum age 13. Male participants were predominantly higher than female participants. Out of the 16 participants, 93.8% (n=15) were male, and 6.3% (n=1) were female. Among them, 50% (n=8) of the participants were caused to fall from a height, 37% (n=6) were caused by a road traffic accident, and 12.5% (n=2) were caused by heavy objects falling on them. The most significant neurological level was T12, with a percentage of 31.3%, while 25% were at L1, and 12.4% were at T7 and T11, respectively. The right-sided shoulder joint was affected in 43.75% of cases, the left-sided in 31.25%, and 25% were affected on both sides. In the statistical analysis, there was a significant improvement in shoulder pain reduction, shoulder flexion, and extension. Conclusion: Overall, this dissertation showed that scapular mobilization was more dominant than only conventional physiotherapy in reducing shoulder pain and improving shoulder movement.

burden on individuals, health systems and social care systems with the indirect cost being
predominant. This is highly recommended to reveal the information concerning LBP prevalence and
its‟ associated risk factors among the working population to develop an effective and efficient
preventive approach and intervention program. Nursing professionals are at great risk of developing
LBP through the world reported in different studies. However, there is scarcity of evidence regarding
symptoms prevalence and associated risk factors in the context of Bangladesh.
Objectives: The objectives were to find out the socio – demographic information of nurses;
prevalence of LBP, to find out the most commonly affected body parts, duration of lower back pain
among the nurses and nurses-oriented tasks/factors associated with lower back pain in tertiary level
hospital. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 100 participants who were
selected by using convenient sampling. The Dutch Musculoskeletal Questionnaire and Nordic
Musculoskeletal questionnaire was used to determine the prevalence and association between
Musculoskeletal Symptoms and socio-demographic factors and to identify physical risk factors of
musculoskeletal symptoms among the nurses. Result: In this study, Physical factor for back pain by
heavy loads (more than 5kg) were 77% and did not low back pain were 23%.Job related risk factors
for back pain by heavy loads (more than 5kg) were 97% and did not low back pain were 3%.Among
100 participants 66% participant’s said that they had pain in the last 12 months and 34% participant
said that they had no pain during the last 12 months. There was significant association between Low
back pain and how long the Nurses working in this hospital. Conclusion: Now a days work related
musculoskeletal disorders is the greatest problem in the world among the working population. At a
same time, nurses are also suffering from different musculoskeletal disorders. Subsequently, this
study shows that there is a high risk of musculoskeletal symptoms among the nurses. It will be
managed by reducing physical risk factors through effective ergonomic management.

Objectives: To measure the severity of pain according to vas scale, to identify the prevalence of
LBP among the bankers, to determine the primary risk factors of low back pain among the
bankers and to inspect the socio- demographic information among the bankers. Methodology: A
quantitative (cross sectional) research model in the form of a prospective type survey design is
carried out in this study. Conveniently 100 participants among the bankers were collected from
various banks of Chittagong, Bangladesh. The instruments used included direct interview, a body
discomfort assessment tool that consist of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and a questionnaire. Data
was collected by mixed type questionnaire and confidentiality of information and voluntarily
participation were ensured by the researcher. Data were numerically coded and captured in Excel,
using an SPSS 17.0 version program. Results: The findings of the study provide a baseline of
information about prevalence of Back pain among the bankers. In percentage 44% have suffered
from back pain and male (81.82%) are more vulnerable than female (18.18%).The most affected
age range 31-50years of age (68.18%). This age group is the largest proportion of the work force
and with this part of the population affected to such a large degree it could affect the productivity
of the company in a negative manner. The study revealed that the prevalence of back pain is most
frequent who had job experience of 1-8 years 36%, followed by 21% were 9-16 years, 18% were
17-24 years, and 25% were 25-32 years. Conclusion: Prevention of LBP is beneficial for
workers, employers, and society. To prevent work relate LBP should focus on working conditions
rather than individual life style , greater attention to other risk factors such as history of back
injury and perception of health status. Bankers should be educated on ergonomics, posture, taking
break in between work and relaxation as this will ultimately improve job satisfaction and
performance.

Chest physiotherapy (CPT) was a common form of respiratory care intervention that involved coughing and secretion mobilization. However, there was limited knowledge about how CPT impacted breathing in spinal cord injury patients. This study aimed to quantify the efficiency of the cough and the potential speed with which secretions could be evacuated. Objective: To provide a concise summary of the research on the effects of chest physiotherapy as respiratory treatment for a patient with a spinal cord injury, including the study's rationale, methods, key findings and conclusions, and clinical relevance. Methodology: Describe in detail the steps taken to carry out the study. Depending on the discipline, this may be referred to as a "case study" or a "single-patient study." In this study, a number of chest physiotherapy techniques were used to treat the patient's respiratory care, including percussion, vibration, and postural drainage. Results: Summarize the key points of the investigation. Physiotherapy targeted at the chest proved effective in this case, allowing the patient to breathe normally again. The patient's oxygen saturation levels rose, and the frequency with which they experienced episodes of respiratory distress fell. Patients with spinal cord injuries can benefit from chest physiotherapy for the treatment of breathing problems. Conclusions: The findings suggest that chest physiotherapy may be helpful for patients with spinal cord injuries who are having breathing problems.

Material and Methods: To better understand what factors lead to cerebral palsy in children, a cross-sectional study was conducted at the CRP pediatric hospital in Savar, Dhaka. The study's sample size of 56 was reached by a convenience sample of mothers of children with cerebral palsy. In-person interviews were conducted utilizing a survey instrument translated into Bengali or the native tongue and then pilot tested. Excel and SPSS were used for statistical analysis. Informed consent and confidentiality were ensured under ethical guidelines. Results: The data shows past socioeconomic variables. Population age distribution: 37.50% 29-35. 88.1% were Muslim. 59% rural residential areas. 35.70% SSC education. 85.7% had two or more children, 45.6% under three. 55% were males, 45% female. 41% of pregnancies had issues, and 24.9% of women underwent abortions. Normal births were 51.80% and cesarean sections 48.20%. Post-birth statistics included crying immediately (34%), yellowish eyes (50%), fever with seizures (61%), head injuries (48%), and birth hypoxia (38%). 35.70% were born at home, 30.40% in hospitals (17.90% public, 16.10% private). Figure 3 showed hypertension (20%), diabetes (16%), and anemia (23%). Age, religion, education, number of children, past abortions, delivery method, and birthplace were correlated. Diabetes, hypertension, anemia, and birthplace were unrelated. Conclusion: Awareness of cerebral palsy is poor despite its prevalence. In developed country physiotherapy is considered as an important treatment for cerebral palsy children.
