Abstract

Background: Healthcare institution is a public or nonprofit organization that provides services for 24 hours per day and 7 days per week. So this work pattern has direct or indirect impact on their health. Stressful life style leads to many health problems. As personality plays a vital role in dealing with the stress and competition. It is essential to know your personality to prevent all the further complications associated with it for a better living. The study is done to find out these type of personalities and aware them about the further health problems.

Objectives: To find out the proportion of Type A personality individuals in particular institution. 2) To find out the association between the personality and related diseases.

Method: Ethical Clearance was obtained from the Institutional Ethical Committee. 100 consecutive individuals aged between 30 to 50 years both male and female were interviewed. They were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were allowed to fill the Questionnaire‑OB‑360‑TYPE A BEHAVIOUR SCALE. According to which conclusion was made.

Result: A statistical analysis for type A personality was significant and for correlation between personality type and health diseases/disorders was not significant (p 0.417).

Conclusion: The majority of participants showed type A personality.The study concluded that there is no significant difference between personality type and health condition. The maximum number of female employees comparatively male employees were more prone for health conditions due to their personality type.

Abstract

Background: Cerebral Palsy has various structural and functional impairments which can lead to inability to walk, move independently which impairs their overall growth and development physiotherapy treatment in these subjects is a routine practice. Its applicability and outcomes is still an upcoming research area. This treatment has a longer duration of application for better outcomes. It is a big challenge for parents to do so due to many reasons. The impact of physiotherapy should be found out for all the age groups irrespective of their pathology and presentations. This study is an effort to do so.

Objective:

1. To study the types of cerebral palsy.

2. To assess the children with cerebral palsy.

3. To study the impact of physiotherapy on levels of gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy.

Method: Ethical Clearance was obtained from the Institutional ethical committee. 64 cerebral palsy children were selected aged between 6 months to 5 years divided in 3 groups according to their age both girls and boys were selected. They were assessed using Gross Motor Function Classification System scale which was recorded for a duration of 3 months. According to which conclusion was derived with appropriate statistical method.

Result: Group A shows maximum in level IV,Group B shows maximum in level I and II and Group C shows maximum in level III.

Conclusion: We found that level of Gross Motor Function was improved in the age group of 2 to 4 years and above when compared with age below 2 years after receiving physiotherapy treatment.

Abstract

Coordination or coordinated movement is the ability to execute smooth, accurate, controlled motor responses. The ability to produce these motor responses is a complex process dependent on a fully intact neuromuscular system. Nowadays there are Fewer Devices Which can help in Gaining Eye-Hand Coordination. Objectives: To compare the effect of eye-hand coordination device and conventional Physiotherapy in eye-hand coordination for subjects with in-coordination. Materials and Method: The subjects in Krishna University campus were screened and 44 subjects were divided into 2 groups i.e Group A subjects were given Conventional Physiotherapy for coordination training and Group Eye-Hand Coordination Device along with given Conventional Physiotherapy for coordination training. The interpretation of the study was done on the basis of comparing pre-test and post-test assessment of NCT grading and FMA-UE.

Result: Intra group comparison results showed that NCT grading and FMA-UE scale were statistically significant in both the groups (p<0.0001). Whereas the intergroup comparison results showed that Eye-Hand Coordination The device along with Conventional physiotherapy was statistically significant in improving NCT score (p=0.0021) and FMA-UE score (p=0.0001) than only Conventional Physiotherapy alone for Eye-hand In-coordination.

Conclusion: The Eye-Hand Coordination Device was Significantly effective when Given With Conventional Physiotherapy For treating In-coordination and improvement in coordination. Conventional Physiotherapy is also effective in treating in-coordination, but after certain duration of treatment, the patient starts getting adapted and chances of achieving the plateau phase

Abstract

Aim: The study was conducted to find effect of activation of deep neck muscles as an adjunct to vestibular rehabilitation in vertigo. Materials and Method: A total 20 subjects (9 males and 11 females) between 18-30 years diagnosed with Vertigo were selected for study considering inclusion criteria. Subjects were grouped into Experimental group (Group A), Control Group (Group B). Group A received exercises for deep neck muscle activation along with vestibular rehabilitation and group B received Vestibular rehabilitation. Each session was conducted for 30 minutes duration, 3 days per week for 4 weeks. Outcome assessment used was Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), Motion Sensitivity Quotient (MSQ) which was assessed pre, post exercise session. Statistical analysis was done using unpaired t test. Result: Within group comparison-Pre-intervention,Post-intervention Mean ±SD of Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) of group A was 37±6.48 and 23.6±8.09 respectively. In DHI there was statistically extremely significant difference with p-0.0003 and t-5.57. Group B pre and post intervention mean±SD of DHI was 38.6±3.27 and 23.6±5 respectively which was statistically not significant with p- 0.0786 and t-1.98. Pre and Post Mean ± SD of MSQ of Group A was 30.82±5.75 and 9.72±4.83 respectively. Post treatment extremely significant improvement was noted according to the p value-<0.0001, t value 16.95 and Group B was 30.62±7.36 and 25.28±7.19 respectively which was statistically not significant with p-0.075 and t- 2.013. Between group comparison-Post intervention mean ±SD DHI was 23.6±8.09 and 35.2±5 respectively which was statistically extremely significant with p-0.0012 and t- 3.85 with decrease in disequilibrium, dizziness and limitations in daily activities. MSQ post intervention mean±SD was 9.72±4.83 and 25.28±7 which was statistically extremely significant with p<0.0001 and t-5.67 with decrease in balance, functional mobility impairments. Conclusion: Activation of deep neck muscles as an adjunct to vestibular rehabilitation in vertigo had significant effect in improving postural stability with balance, functional mobility, reduced impact of symptoms on daily activities. So, this study accepts alternate Hypothesis.
