Background: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a disorder of neurodevelopment, which affects individuals across social, ethnic, and geographic groups. Autistic children have difficulty with gross motor and fine motor functioning difficulties, including a wide range of signs and symptoms. Toe walking due to TA tightness is commonly observed gait in autistic children altering foot posture in them. The knowledge about the abnormalities can be useful for the assessment and treatment planning of ASD children. We evaluated TA tightness, ROM of the ankle joint, and compare the effect of manual therapy (MET) and conventional therapy for improving TA flexibility and foot posture. Methods: An RCT included 20 diagnosed autistic children(13male,7female) as per inclusion criteria the subjects were divided into two groups, i.e., group A and B, the group A was given Conventional Therapy in the form of passive stretching whereas Group B was given Manual Therapy in the form Muscle Energy Technique. The participants were clinically examined and evaluate TA tightness in the form of Elastography, Range of motion, and foot posture. Data were taken as pre and after post-intervention. Results: There were significant changes in elastography readings, foot posture index, and range of motion in both groups post-intervention, but significant improvement was observed in group B as compared to group A, i.e., p>0.05.
Conclusion:This has been concluded that there is a significant effect of Manual therapy in the form of muscle energy technique for improving TA flexibility and foot posture as compared to conventional treatment.
Cerebellar ataxia can be induced by a variety of factors, and symptoms include a lack of coordination in one's balance and cadence, extremities, as well as eye movements. Cerebellar ataxia leads to cerebellar dysfunction with impaired balance and shows Romberg’s sign positive as assisted by the therapist. Suspension therapy is given to bear patients’ weight and improve their gait by supporting their bodies. Treadmill training to assist gait speed, gait endurance, and step length of the patient. Rehabilitation techniques are used to control balance and coordination. As a result Gait variability is common and can be caused by a union of equilibrium issues, a lack of synchronization between the limbs, postural activity, and leg movement facilitation. The unprejudiced study is to ascertain the potential of assistive and rehabilitative technology in cerebellar ataxia. This study was taken from different data sources here four databases were used for searching the last fifteen years of research articles. Here articles for cerebellar ataxia on assistive and rehabilitation were chosen for study. Assistive techniques like bruce protocol, treadmill, and suspension therapy are useful in various cerebral dysfunctional conditions, but this study focuses on cerebellar ataxia.
Phantom limb pain (PLP) is defined as pain experienced by a bodily part that is no longer existent. Stump pain is pain felt in the severed limb's remaining component, whereas phantom sensations are nonpainful sensations felt in a bodily part that no longer exists. People with bilateral limb amputation did not have a higher rate of phantom pain or feeling than those with single limb amputation. There has been a link discovered between the PLP and residual limb pain. Preamputation pain has also been linked to an increased likelihood of getting PLP.
The Matrix Rhythm concept is founded on the premise that all cellular actions, whether preventive, therapeutic, regenerative, or destructive, operate largely through the cell's environment. The frequency of pulsation in muscle cells is 8-12 Hertz. Outside of the 8-12 Hertz range, muscle pulsation frequency is linked to aches, muscle tension, and other health issues. Variations in pulse frequency and the logistics of the life process at the cellular level are linked to changes in muscle flexibility and plasticity. Specific vibrations in skeletal muscles and the nervous system are activated and rebalanced by the MRT. The MRT generates an oscillating rhythm that increases lymphatic venous perfusion of the extracellular space, in which the anti-edematous benefits occur. We reviewed the Matrix Rhythm Therapy procedures in treating various pathological disorders in this research.Matrix rhythm therapy is useful in treating complaints such as enhancing Range of motion, increase in muscle strength and lowering in pain, according to the result of this research. In terms of physical health, functional outcomes, and satisfaction, matrix rhythm therapy delivers long- term benefits for those with frozen shoulder and leprosy.
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.
