Avascular necrosis of the femur is a painful condition marked by a disruption in the blood supply to the femoral head, which causes the femur bone to distort; characterized by pain and restriction of movements at the affected joint with a limp. The study aimed to provide a case of nontraumatic stage-4 avascular necrosis of the left femoral head with gross 40-degree adductor deformity. In this report, a 27-year-old female complained of pain in her left hip joint and difficulty in walking. She was a known case of pyogenic arthritis with 5 cm of true shortening on her left side and a gross 40-degree adduction deformity of her left leg. According to Ficat and Arlet's grading system, an X-ray showed stage-4 avascular necrosis of the left femoral head. For this, she was managed with adductor tenotomy, medications, and physiotherapy management with a one-month rehabilitation protocol. A physiotherapy intervention consists of a non-weight-bearing phase and a weight-bearing phase. At the time of her physiotherapy discharge, the patient experienced alleviation from symptoms and achieved functional mobility that she had previously been unable to tolerate owing to pain. As a result, physical therapy rehabilitation has been proved to be highly beneficial. This case study concludes that multidisciplinary team including medical, surgical approach and physiotherapy rehabilitation played a vital role in reducing pain; enhance muscle strength, functional independence, and quality of life in patients with stage 4 avascular necrosis of the femur followed by pyogenic arthritis.
Hematometra is a rare condition that involves blood accumulation or retention in the uterus; caused by a structural obstruction of the cervical canal, which may be congenital or acquired. Amenorrhea or dysmenorrhoea in premenopausal women, pelvic pain, and urinary incontinence are common symptoms associated with this condition. In this study, a 39-year-old woman presented with a hematometra complaint associated with lower abdominal pain and urinary incontinence. After more USG and MRI studies, she underwent subtotal hysterectomy and hematometra draining, but after surgery, she started to feel pain in her left lower abdomen and urinary incontinence. The patient attended 12 days of therapy over the course of two weeks. Physical therapy including Kegel’s exercises, breathing exercises, and instruction in relaxation techniques, postural advice, gait training, and a home program to training for the activity of daily living activities. The patient reported reductions in symptoms in the Pelvic Floor Impact Questionnaire (PFIQ-7) at the time of her physical therapy discharge, and was able to resume activities that she had not previously tolerated due to abdominal pain and urinary incontinence.
Background-
Thyroid cancer, which manifests as a solid tumour cancer of the thyroid gland, is the most common endocrine cancer in women and the sixth most common cancer overall. Its prevalence has been rapidly rising in India, particularly among the younger population, with a rise in fatigue caused by cancer and poor quality of life in females following thyroidectomy.
Aim-
This experimental study protocol has been designed to evaluate the effect of Aerobic exercises along with Music Therapy on the fatigue and quality of life in female with thyroidectomy following thyroid cancer.
Methods-
The study's participants (n = 30) will be females who underwent thyroidectomy and meet the inclusion criteria. The participants will be enrolled in the study, ensuring that the six-week session is effectively completed. Aerobic exercises are combined with music therapy as the intervention. Fatigue and quality of life will be evaluated pre and post-treatment by using the Fatigue assessment scale and Rand SF-36 Questionnaire.
Conclusion-
This is a unique study, since a similar study has not yet been carried out. This study evaluates the effect of Aerobic exercises combined with Music Therapy by determining the fatigue caused by cancer and quality of life in females with post thyroidectomy following thyroid cancer.
