Background: Prevalence of stroke in India varies in different regions of country and ranges from 40 to 270 per 1,00,000 population. Only one study in India evaluated the perception of warning signs of stroke and its risk factors. Amount of evidence available with this respect is very low and there is a need for extensive research. Method: In this prospective study 600 subjects from Loni, Maharashtra were handed over a multiple choice questionnaire in the local language that addressed questions regarding warning signs and risk factors of stroke and sources of information regarding stroke. Results: Awareness for stroke was considerably low with only 51% subjects being able to recognize brain as the organ responsible for stroke. Knowledge of risk factors was moderate with 66% participants being able to establish at least 1 risk factor. Weakness of one side of the body was the most established warning sign, other warning signs were however less known. Awareness of warning signs was in direct proportion with educational qualification. Conclusion: The study revealed that the knowledge regarding the organ involved, warning signs and some risk factors is lacking in the population. It is important to bring about awareness amongst the population so as to minimize the long term debilities associated with stroke. Different means of mass communication should be effectively used in this regard to reach out to the rural Indian population.Keywords

The purpose of this study was to compare three sensory and mixed NCS technique in mild CTS hands and evaluate the percentage of abnormality when at least one of them was abnormal. This study is a simple randomized comparative experimental study. This study was carried out in the Electromyography laboratory (E.M.G Lab), Department of Neurosciences, College of Physiotherapy, PIMS, Loni. Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most commonest entrapment neuropathy. The carpal tunnel is bounded by carpal bones and transverse ligaments, which are attached to Scaphoid, Trapezoid and Hamate bones. The diameter of carpel tunnel is 2-2.5 cm and the median nerve passes through it along with 9 digital flexor tendons. Some degree of compression of median nerve and focal nerve conduction slowing is common at this level, which is more pronounced 2-3 cm distal to the origin of the ligament. Autopsy study has also confirmed focal abnormality in the median nerve in 5 out of 12 asymptomatic subjects.Keywords
