Background: Stroke is a disorder where brain is damaged either by blockage in the blood vessels or rupture of the blood vessels. It is the approximately number five leading cause of death. It is also the leading cause of longer period disability as well as preventable cause of disability. Objectives: To determine and compare balance, functional status and mobility before and after application of task oriented physiotherapy along with conventional physiotherapy among patients with Stroke. Methodology: Classic experimental study design was used in this study. 30 patients with stroke were randomly assigned into two groups among them 15 patients were assigned into experimental group received task oriented physiotherapy with conventional physiotherapy and another 15 into control group received only conventional physiotherapy. Total treatment sessions were twenty-four comprising of 3 sessions per week for 8 weeks. Single blinding procedure was used during data collection. Outcome measurement tools: Berg balance scale (BBS) was used to measure balance, functional independence measurement (FIM) was used to measure functional status and timed up and go test (TUG) to measure mobility. Analysis of data: Inferential statistics such as for between group analysis of BBS and FIM used Mann-Whitney U test, and within group analysis of BBS and FIM used Wilcoxon test. Besides Independent t test used for between group analysis and Paired t test was done for within group analysis of TUG by using SPSS version 22. Results: It was found that balance, functional status and mobility improved both between and within group results except standing unsupported one foot in front. Conclusion: This research showed that task oriented physiotherapy along with conventional physiotherapy was more effective than only conventional physiotherapy for patients with stroke.
Sexual knowledge is an important part of every life and it is necessary for clinicians to have a specific format in which to address sexual issues with their patients. A systematic approach to working with female spinal cord injury (SCI) patients need to present their sexual knowledge and experience. To explore the sexual knowledge and experience of women with spinal cord injury in the community level. The researcher conducted a mixed method research. In order to assess sexuality a standard questionnaire was developed on the basis of the clinical experience and review of relevant literature. The items of the questionnaire were selected keeping in mind the complex culture and principles of our society. VAS scale and likert scale was used to measure 9 close questions related to sexual knowledge and experience. Another 2 open ended question explored their perception how they maintain good relation and what they want to know from the rehabilitation program. Paired 't' test was used for identify the quality of sexual life. The total participant was 30. Mean ages were 30.73 ± 7.47 years. Mean duration of injury was 7.733 years. Of the participants 17 (56.7%) live in rural and 13 (43.3%) live in urban. The participant 23 (76.7%) was married before injury, 7 (23.3%) was married after injury. The study result was who stay in urban area their sexual happiness means score (54.384) was more than who stay in rural area (35.47). Married after injury (7 women) their mean sexual happiness score (72%) was more than who was married (23 women) before injury (mean score 33.82) and Significantly difference (P<0.05) quality of sexual life before and after injury. 50% of participant indicated that support of husband was not much and not at all. Advice from the participants for maintaining good relationship, financial independence, self-confidence, copes with the present situation is important. Participants want to know proper guidance after operation and different individual problem-solving technique in the rehabilitation education program. This study present important information with regards for improving sexual rehabilitation services to women with SCI.
Purpose: To evaluate the common sports injuries among male cricket player. Objective: To identify the prevalence of sports injuries among the male player, to expose the injured participants age, training duration and to identify the common site and type of injury and treatment taken after injury. Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional study design was chosen to achieve the objectives of the study. 100 subjects were selected through convenience sampling technique from the injured male cricket player who trained in Bangladesh Krira Shikkha Protishtan (BKSP)& Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) by using a structural questionnaire to collect data. Results: The result of the study demonstrates that, the peak age group was n=45 (45%) were between 18-20 years. The bowlers n=60 (60 %) are mostly affected by the injuries in cricket. According to the regional area shoulder injuries of the pain was n=40, (40%) in all shoulder injury n=25 (25%) had rotator cuff injury from the total participants. From the total player n=20(20%) Hand and finger injury most common was MCP injury 16%. Out of thigh and hip injury among the 100 cricketers only n=30 (30%) had groin pain. From the total n=20 (20%) had knee and leg pain, out of 100 cricketers. The most common n=71 (71%) had indirect injury/ overuse injury. This study presents among severity of injury had n=45 (45.2%) had moderate injury. Among the participant 98% (n=98) were regularly attend in warm up and cool down activity and the duration of warm up and cool down 54% (n=54) more than or equal 16 min. Heart rate was 70% (n=70) less than or equal 72. The finding a lso reflects that the treatment was consisting physiotherapy as frequent as drug (48 % n=48 taken physiotherapy, 16% ; n=16 taken drug and 36%; n=36 taken both). Conclusion: The vulnerable age range 21-23 was frequent injury occurring among cricket player and noticeably flexibility and overuse are the key issues to cause of injury. Health education and perform regular physical activity along with physio therapeutic exercises can prevent injury.
