“…The Dschang District Hospital most often receives patients suffering from pathologies such as facial paralysis, which is paralysis of the nerves innervating the muscles of the face; brachial plexus paralysis, which is paralysis of the network formed by several threads of nerves intended to innervate the muscles of the arm and forearm; lumbago and lumbosciatica, which are lumbar pains with the same or different aetiologies; hemiplegia, paraplegia and paresis, which are all central or peripheral neurological disorders; and post-cast patients with ankylosis and joint limitations following direct or indirect trauma [15][16][17][18]. In view of all these pathologies, it was necessary to evaluate the satisfaction rate of patients after 10 physiotherapy sessions and to know the quality of care in this structure on one hand and the therapeutic compliance of patients on the other hand, in order to promote physiotherapy in the town of Dschang and its surroundings.…”

Physiotherapy is that part of medicine which, in its multidisciplinary, affects almost all medical fields. It therefor operates in different techniques to empower patients in a drive to rehabilitate, and restore functional capacities, by maintaining, strengthening, and restoring them. Despite the history of this discipline and its proven evidence, physiotherapy turns out to be always in the shadows because very little known by a large number of Cameroonians. The objective of this study is to promote physiotherapy by evidence of its importance in the management of chronic and acute pathologies, by assessing the satisfaction rate of patients after 10 physiotherapy sessions at the HDD. Our descriptive prospective study was conducted from February 12 to May 12, 2020, using a 4 part questionnaire, and 32 questions including, 09 reliable questions, used for data collection. The data thus collected after compliance with the inclusion criteria were analyses using the Epi info V3.5.3 software and presented in the form of tables and graphs using Excel and Word software. 36 participants participated in the study, therefor 22 are women and 14 are men. At the end of this study, 03 participants had a satisfaction rate below 50%, 30% for two patients and 40% for one of them. On the other hand, 33 patients recorded a satisfaction rate above 50% ranging from 65% to 95% after 10 sessions. At the end of this study, it's emerges that physiotherapy improves the defective condition of patients after 10 sessions. However, it remains imperative to increase the promotion of physiotherapy by virtue of it for well-being of all in city of Dschang in particular and in Cameroon in general.

Introduction Neurological disorders (ND) have a high incidence in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In this region, systemic challenges of conventional medicine (CM) and cultural beliefs have contributed to a large utilization of traditional medicine (TM). Yet, data on TM and those who use it in the treatment of ND in SSA are scarce. Here, we systematically analyze its role as a therapy modality for ND in Mali, the socio-demographic characteristics of its users, and propose next steps to optimize the dual usages of TM and CM for patients with ND. Methods We conducted a questionnaire study in two phases. In phase one, patients with ND answered questions on their usage of and attitudes towards TM. In phase two, the TM therapists who provided care to the patients in phase one answered questions regarding their own practices for treating ND. Patients were recruited from the country's two university neurology departments. Results 3,534 of the 4,532 patients seen in the Departments of Neurology in 2019 met the inclusion criteria. Among these 3,534 patients, 2,430 (68.8%) had previously consulted TM for their present ND. Patients over 60 years of age most often used TM (83.1%). By education, illiterate patients utilized TM the most (85.5%) while those with more than a secondary education used TM the least (48.6%). An income greater than the minimum guaranteed salary was associated with decreased use of traditional medicine (OR 0.29, CI 0.25–0.35, p < 0.001). Among those using TM, it was overwhelmingly thought to be more effective than CM (84.6%). Linking illness to supernatural causes and believing TM therapists had a better understanding of illnesses were the most common reasons patients used traditional medicine (82.3% and 80.5%, respectively). We then interviewed 171 TM therapists who had provided care to the patients in phase one. These providers most commonly “sometimes” (62.6%) referred patients to CM and 4.1% never had. A majority of TM providers (62.6%) believed collaboration with CM could be improved by having doctor “take into account” our existence. Conclusion Our work shows that TM plays a central role in the provision of care for patients with ND in SSA with certain cohorts using it at higher rates. Future development of treatment of ND in SSA will require optimizing TM with CM and needs buy-in from all stakeholders including conventional medicine clinicians, traditional medicine therapists, researchers, politicians, and most importantly, patients.

Cervical radiculopathy is a clinical condition that affects the nerve roots and is frequently brought on by inflammatory or compressive disease. Although many alternative techniques have been proposed for reducing patients' pain and disabilities, manual therapy has been proven to be an efficient method. The goal of the current study was to compare how well the Manual Cervical Traction and Natural Apophyseal Glides treated individuals with cervical radiculopathy for pain and impairment. Methods: The physiotherapy department of Mayo Hospital Lahore conducted a parallel design, randomized controlled experiment on 72 patients. Following baseline testing, participants were divided into two groups randomly. Natural apophyseal glides and baseline therapy were given to group A, whereas manual cervical traction and baseline treatment were given to group B. Three weeks of treatment were spent receiving three weekly sessions on a rotating basis. A neck disability index and a numeric pain rating scale were used for assessment at the baseline and second and third weeks of therapy. The data was examined using SPSS version 25. Results: Data was analyzed for 72 participants. Mean and standard deviation scores for pain in group A were 3.14 ± 0.601 and of group B were 3.34 ± 0.482 before treatment. The post treatment score for group A were 1.57 ± 0.502 and of group B were 1.63 ± 0.490 with P value 0.632. P value for disability was 0.11. Conclusion: Natural Apophyseal Glides is equally effective to manual cervical traction for relieving pain but found to be more effective for improving functional mobility.
