Background: Rehabilitation is a stressful and exhausting procedure that includes number of exercises and activities that patients have to perform for a long period of time. Regrettably, patients often become annoyed, irritated, and lack motivation and feel discouraged which makes rehabilitation less efficient. Virtual Reality have been extensively utilized for implementing treatment plans to make the process more exciting, stimulating and empowering for patients. Within this work, we propose to use of head wearing device name oculus for patient’s wrist rehabilitation after distal radius fracture (DRF). Methodology: In the study 40 DRF patients will be enrolled. One group will receive conventional therapy and the other group will receive immersive virtual reality as well as conventional therapy for 6 weeks. Pain, ROM, dexterity and grip strength will be evaluated using to standard technique.Discussion: The goal of this Interventional study is to examine the impact of immersive virtual reality after DRF. This research will help in identifying rapid and long term effects of virtual reality in DRF patients. The study findings would help prospective patients with DRF, which may include a newly designed method of rehabilitation.

Pulmonary tuberculosis is a contagious disease of the lung caused by mycobacterium tuberculosis. The disease is curable and preventable, but its sequelae induce structural lung damage, physiological dysfunction resulting in disability, respiratory distress, and decreased exercise capacity affecting ADLs. Pneumothorax is considered to be a major complication of TB among all the known sequelae. In the present case, the patient complained of moderate dyspnea, chest pressure, and chest pain. Based on chest radiography and a previous diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis, the patient was diagnosed with secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP). The pneumothorax was relieved by medical intervention, i.e. by intercostal drainage, but our goal was to increase the ventilation and oxygenation of the lungs, improve airways hygiene, improve the exercise tolerance and minimize the work of breathing so that the patient can go back to his normal day-to-day activities without any trouble. A comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation plan was structured to suit the patient's goal and was implemented and routinely followed for 1 month. It included a range of interventions like breathing exercises, airway clearance techniques, physical mobility exercises, and posture retraining. The patient demonstrated significant functional improvement in aerobic capacity, endurance, exercise tolerance capacity, and increased shoulder joint mobility. In the present case, it has also been validated that medical management anchored with Pulmonary Rehabilitation will help in gaining better outcomes.
The MSX homeobox genes cause Goldenhar syndrome (GHS) or facio-auriculo-vertebral dysplasia, a rare developmental defect. Its exact etiology is still unknown. Its incidence lies between 1: 3500 and 1: 5600. In 85% of the cases, the unilateral face is affected. Typical clinical findings in a classic GHS include eye disorders, ear irregularities (with or without hearing loss), facial impairments, dental and oral ailments, cardiac syndromes, central nervous system (CNS) involvement, trachea and lung malformations, kidney and gastrointestinal defects, and skeletal alterations. This case report presents a follow-up case of Goldenhar Syndrome in a 12-year-old female, with no relevant family history, diagnosed with anotia on the left side, cyanosis, and facial asymmetry at birth. She presented with moderate growth failure, bilateral sclerosing mastoiditis and kyphoscoliosis. She underwent posterior scoliosis correction posterior instrumented fusion from D1 to D11.
Introduction: Patellar injuries are usually caused while a person slips or falls on a flexed knee and when the forces from the extensors surpass the inherent strength of patella. As the bony failure advances, it concurs or follows injury to medial and lateral extensions of quadriceps mechanism. This happens by pulling mechanism of the muscles. The patient is unable to extend the affected knee actively. This is indicative of disruption of the extensor mechanism and a torn retinaculum. This requires repair or reconstruction through operative means. Case Presentation: To find out complications of comminuted fracture of patella and open reduction after 15 years of surgery. Case Report: A 32-year-old man had a history of fall on ground due to slipping of the wheelchair over wet floor while taking a patient on wheelchair which led to comminuted fracture of left patella with shift knee and had undergone Open reduction and Tension band Osteosynthesis. After this surgical intervention, the patient presented with knee stiffness and pain (rated 6 on numerical pain rating scale) and was referred to physiotherapy. Conclusion: This case study concluded that there is evident stiffness and muscle wasting observed after 15 years of post-fracture surgery of patella, which was managed with the physiotherapeutic rehabilitations.
