Background: The World Health Organization defines - Health as a “state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
Methodology: A cross sectional study on 96 patients with stroke aged more than 30 years was carried out NIMS Hospital, Jaipur for a period of 4 months from 1st January 2018 to 30th April 2018.
Results: Out of 96 patients, Mean quality of score of patients with stroke was 65.04±9.982 there was significant difference seen in quality of life score according to sex, side of lesion, duration of stroke, socioeconomic status, occupation and hypertension.
Conclusions: It can be said that quality of life is a multidimensional concept. As stroke cases is among the most devastating of health aspect, having multiple and profound effects upon all aspects of life, hence evaluation of quality of life is very important. Each and every effort should be made to improve these aspects and in turn to activity daily living (ADL) and improve the overall quality of stroke patients.
Background: Stroke is a leading cause of motor impairment in adults and the elderly, necessitating appropriate therapies that might aid upper-limb rehabilitation. Upper-limb rehabilitation is difficult limiting the anticipatory core action using trunk-restraints could be an important factor to consider during Physiotherapy for stroke individuals with upper-arm disability. Different approaches, such as the use of exergames in motor rehabilitation and balance, are being used because they work as motivators, making therapy more enjoyable. Aim: To assess the effects of trunk-restraint reach-to-grasp therapy on trunk arm control following a stroke. The goal of this research was to see how trunk and bimanual hand training affected patients' balance and upper-limb motor function following a stroke. Method: In this work, an experimental design was employed on a randomised control group of 62 stroke patients selected by simple randomization. The research was carried out from September 2020, to august 2021. The Fugl-Meyer Upper Extremity (FMUE) Scale, Modified Ashworth Scale, and the interviewing questionnaire were all employed in this investigation. Results: For the study and control groups, most of the groups that were examined (95.0 percent and 90.0 percent, respectively) had an ischemic stroke.
Background: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease, occurring primarily in older person, characterized erosion of articular cartilage, hypertrophy of the bone at the margins. Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disorder among adults 45 to 80 years of age or older, symptomatic disease occurs in approximately 12.1% population. Method: A total number of 40 participants of age between 60 to 80 years were divided into 2 groups as group A and group B, in which each group consist of 20 participants. The group A received single leg mini-squat exercise with hot pack and IFT and group B received straight leg raise exercise with hot pack and IFT for 15 days (20 times twice daily).the number of exercises was increased by five every two days so that by end of the program (15 day), the participants was performed 55 single leg MSE twice a day of group A and 55 SLRE twice a day of group B. Result: The participants in the two groups showed improvement after the treatment but there was significantly more decrease in pain, increase muscle strength and physical function among participants in single leg mini squat exercise group when compared to SLRE.
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.
