“…Sophisticated technologies such as image-based technologies, sensor-based technologies and virtual reality-based tele-rehabilitation systems are far from the reach of many people living in LMICs like Nigeria. However, the use of smart-phone software provides a novel approach to encouraging home and onthe-go health intervention in the form of mobile health (mHealth) 18,19 Mobile health interventions specifically suited for LMICs have been researched among Nigerian health professionals and patients in recent years with evidence of good uptake, especially in urban cities. [18][19][20][21] Specifically, video based educational interventions have been shown to be more effective than written materials for education and behavioural changes for other chronic diseases.…”

BackgroundInterventions based on social cognitive theory are more patient-centered and focused on principles that can enlighten and encourage adoption of healthy habits. Addressing limited stroke literacy among stroke survivors based on social cognitive theory is an effective means to reduce secondary stroke risk. The use of trending Mobile Health (m-health) devices can be a valuable interventional approach to achieve this through improved stroke literacy.ObjectivesThe objectives of this study were to develop and test effectiveness of m-health based educational package for stroke prevention among stroke survivors.MethodThis was a multimodal methodology involving content development and effectiveness testing using Delphi protocol and pretest-posttest design respectively. Development involved items selection, rating and retention; script writing, translation and recording into an audio and video educational packages. Effectiveness testing involved 30 consenting, consecutively assigned SSVs in each of audio (AIG) and video (VIG) intervention group. Stroke literacy was assessed at baseline, 2nd and 4th week post-intervention. Participants’ socio-demographic data were also collected. Data was summarized using descriptive and inferential statistics. Alpha value was set at p<0.05.ResultsMajority of the participants were male (63.3%), over 60 years old (51.7%), hypertensive (83.3%) and had tertiary education (31.7%). Knowledge of stroke risk factors improved between AIG and VIG from baseline (11 23±4 01 and 10.07±3.24) to 2nd week (17 73±0.78 and 15.30±1.78) and 4th week (17.97±0.18 and 16.77±1.01) post-intervention respectively. There were significant differences between the two groups (p<0.01).ConclusionMobile-health education based on social cognitive theory effectively improves stroke literacy among SSVs and should be tested among larger samples in the community.

Low back pain is one of the most common ailments encountered by physicians and orthopedic surgeons. There are various modalities used to treat low back pain, including conservative management, and a few of them involve rest, medications, massage, bracing, acupuncture, and physical therapy. Though most of the patients improve with conservative management, the burden of this disease has been very high and caused a significant amount of economic loss. Therefore, in-depth knowledge of all conservative methods is essential for physicians managing low back pain. Furthermore, there can be many causes of low back pain. Some of the more common ones are mechanical back pain due to paraspinal muscles or facetal in origin, discogenic back pain, and sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Many patients, especially the older population, have the discogenic origin as the more common cause of back pain, and traction therapy has been used for its treatment for ages. In this review, we discuss non-surgical spinal decompression/traction therapy popularly known as interferential differential dynamics (IDD) therapy with its current standing and recent advancement.
