Despite having a significant impact on the personal, psychological, and social dimensions of a person’s health, health professionals’ emphasis on the epidemiological, pathological, and physiological basis of the dysfunctional breathing, therefore, fails to provide patients with an appropriate treatment. Given the multifarious and psychophysiological nature of dysfunctional breathing, a holistic and multidimensional management would seem the most appropriate way to manage such a prevalent condition This case study presents a holistic approach to comprehensively manage dysfunctional breathing. That being the case, interventions for four key domains — biochemical aspects, biomechanical aspects, psychosocial aspects, and respiratory symptoms — were provided. It was obvious from the outcome findings that dysfunctional breathing can only be successfully understood by relating it to the person’s life experiences including their, beliefs, values, emotions, influences, and social relations.
Background: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) may have individual experiences and problems that restrict the participation in daily life activities. Quality of life (QOL) in children with CP needs to be quantified by CP-specific questionnaire. CP-QOL questionnaire is being used for this purpose. Objective: The aim of the study was to study the QOL of children with CP as asked by the caregivers of such children in south Indian population. Methodology: A cross-sectional and observational study including 121 participants (Parents/caregivers of children) with CP with age of 4–12 years was asked to complete the CPQOL questionnaire. The CPQOL questionnaire for primary caregivers is used to assess the QOL of children with CP. The study was conducted at the physiotherapy OPD of SRM Hospital, Kattankulathur and was completed after a period of 15 months started from May 2019 till August 2020. Result: The mean QOL score of 37.67 ± 4.57 was calculated using SPSS. Conclusion: The QOL of children with CP was compromised and the CP-QOL can be used to assess the QOL in children with CP.
Objectives: The purpose of this systematic review was to determine the effect of retro-walking in non-specific low back pain (LBP) among young individuals. Methodology: This systematic review study has been carried out through PRISMA guideline. This systematic review has been conducted by researcher who searched articles using electronic search for publications in various electronic database: Google Scholar, PubMed/Medline, and Research gate. After implementing the selection criteria, articles published between the years 2000–2020 have been selected. Total 70 full-text published articles were selected from different electronic database. Out of 70, only 36 articles were included in this systematic review on the basis of selection criteria. Studies of human participants of 18–35 years of age having history of non-specific LBP were eligible. All the articles have been determine using Modified Downs and Black scale and scores have been awarded for the items selected on a 27 point scale. Findings: On reviewing the previous published articles, the result of this systematic review study shows that there is significant effect of retro-walking in non-specific LBP. Furthermore, there is considerable effect of retro-walking found in terms of improving muscles strength and reducing disability associated with the non-specific LBP. Novelty: Many studies have been carried on the effect of retro-walking in LBP. However, there is scarcity of literature based on systematic review on the effect of retro-walking in non-specific LBP among young individual.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
