hildbirth mortality rate relatively high in especially in developing countries. Of those high morbidity and mortality rates, preterm births are considered as of the major problems in those countries. According to the reports disseminated by WHO and related organizations, 15 million preterm infants are born too early each year and one million preterm died due to complications. It is worthy to note that the number of the prematurity is unfortunately increasing day by day. 1 J Tradit Complem Med. 2019;2(1):33-41 33 A An na ah h t ta ar r K Ke e l li i m me e l le

“…Massage is stated as a mechanical manipulation of body tissues with rhythmical pressure and stroking for the purpose of promoting health 3,4 . In most of the studies done on preterm infant massage studies have combined tactile and kinesthetic stimulation which have shown increased weight gain due to stimulation of baroreceptors and mechanoreceptors which can increase vagal activities 5 .…”

“…Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) is defined as early, prolong and continuous skin to skin contact between the mother and preterm LBW baby 2 . Kangaroo mother care improves weight gain in preterm and low birth weight babies and also helps in reducing pain 3,6 . KMC results in keeping neonates warm and protect them against cold stress and hypothermia.…”

Background: Prematurity is a leading cause of death in Indian scenario. There are lack of studies done on early physiotherapy interventions in neonates. Early care interventions in premature newborns show positive effect. Growth retardation and demineralisation of bones in newborn are thought to be caused by prolong immobilisation or lack of physical activities. In this study we are going to give combination of massage, passive movements, facilitatory techniques, joint compression and kangaroo mother care, which has not been done before. Indeed this made us to study the effectiveness of early physiotherapy intervention on weight gain in low birth weight neonates. Objectives: To determine the effectiveness of early physiotherapy intervention on weight gain in moderate premature neonates (32-37 weeks), very premature (28-32 weeks) and extremely premature neonates (less than 28 weeks). Methods: Individuals fulfilling the inclusive criteria were selected. Written consent was taken from parents and care taker of neonates. Total 20 low birth weight neonates were taken. They were differentiated into moderate premature, very premature and extremely premature neonates. The weight was measured and breast feeding frequency was noted before treatment. Then the neonates were given massage, passive movements, proprioception stimulation by individual joint compression, oral stimulation and kangaroo mother care. This was given for 25-30 minutes each session for two times per day for 7 days. After that again weight and breast feeding frequency was checked to see progression. Later evaluation and interpretation was done using statistical analysis. Results: The early physiotherapy intervention is effective in low birth weight baby for improving weight in pre mature neonates. Conclusion: On the basis of result it can be concluded that the early physiotherapy is effective in improving weight, breast feeding frequency in low birth weight neonates. Hence, early physiotherapy interventions should be considered to decrease the morbidity and mortality rate of LBW neonates.

Lower limb massage in humans increases local perfusion and impacts systemic hemodynamics

The impact of effleurage, a well-known massage procedure used in human rehabilitation, in the lower limb hemodynamics, is demonstrated. When applied in a sole limb, massage increases skin microcirculatory flowmotion not only locally but also beyond, affecting systemic hemodynamics. This observation is an interesting example of the efficacy of cardiovascular integration mechanisms involving distal microcirculatory homeostasis. The proposed methodology allows a mechanistic view over skin flowmotion regulation, being applicable to further explore massage and its impact on microcirculatory physiology.
