Background: Cancer is most common cause of death in children. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia affecting around 83% of childhood cancer. Children receiving chemotherapeutic drug like Vincirstine, Predisome and L-asparaginase are suffering from side effects like fatigue, peripheral neuropathy, decreased in muscle strength etc. To reduce Fatigue, two method Aerobic exercise & Relaxation technique can be given in different groups. So to compare the efficacy of Aerobic exercise and Relaxation technique to reduce fatigue during chemotherapy in acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children.Materials and Method: 40 patients refereed by private oncologist, from government Wenlock hospital were randomly divided in two groups: Group-A received Aerobic exercise, Group-B received Jacobson's Relaxation technique. Each group received 20 min of intervention daily for a period of 3 weeks. Pre test fatigue level assessment done by Piper Fatigue Scale. After 3 weeks of Exercise protocol given for both groups, fatigue level assessment was again done by Piper Fatigue Scale.
Results: There was a significant reduction in level of fatigue in both groups, but more reduction is seen in group receiving Relaxation technique. So this study is highly significant in favor of Group B. (p < 0.01).
Discussion and Conclusion: Relaxation technique helps them to reduce disease related or treatment related stress and possibly Relaxation technique is easy to perform for children and children enjoy doing that. This study concludes that Relaxation technique is more effective in reduction of fatigue than Aerobic exercise in children.

Background: In stroke balance can be affected by deficits of strength, range of motion, proprioception, vision, vestibular function. Patients are trained to rely more on visual input to maintain balance but rarely are trained for the vestibular and other sensory system. Balance is also a predictor of functional rehabilitation. Hence aim of this study is to find out the difference between training somatosensory, vestibular and tactile system with and without visual cues, with emphasis on balance and its effect on ADL and mobility in stroke patients.Materials and Method: Thirty post stroke subjects with balance problem were assigned into two groups: GroupA (Control) and GroupB (Experimental). Both the groups received similar balance training program for six weeks. Subjects of group A were allowed to use free vision and group B were deprived of visual cues during balance training. After six weeks both groups were re-evaluated for balance, ADL and mobility.
Results: There was significant improvement in balance(p0.05)and mobility(p>0.05).
Discussion and Conclusion: Balance is the basic need for doing all ADL activities but training for balance will not necessarily improve quality of ADL. This study suggests that patients improved their integration of somatosensory and vestibular input and enables them to use the pertinent input to become less reliant on visual input. From this result it was concluded that balance training without vision is more effective in balance recovery in stroke patients.
