Objective: The objectives of this study were to see effects of closed chain exercises (CCE) as early intervention (post-operative two weeks) and late intervention (post-operative four weeks) till six weeks post TKA on knee joint proprioception.
Method: Pre test post test two group experimental study was utilized. Forty participants with TKA (n=40) participated. Twenty in each group, eight participants from group one and five participants from group two lost to follow up so twenty seven participants (seventeen females and ten males) were included. So, twelve participants were there in group one and fifteen in group two. All participants received CCE five times per week plus Range of motion and strengthening exercises. Early intervention group (group one) received CCE starting two weeks post operatively and late intervention group (group two) four weeks post operatively and continued till six weeks post TKA.
Result: Both the groups showed statistically significant improvement in knee joint proprioception after six weeks post TKA after administering CCE (p<0.05) and there was no statistically significant difference between two groups(p>0.05).
Conclusions: CCE improves knee joint proprioception in people with TKA. However, CCE as early intervention did not have additional benefit in improving proprioception after TKA.

Objective: The objective of this study was to find out correlation of lower extremity isometric muscle strength and balance performance in community-dwelling elderly females. Method Lower limb isometric muscle strength and balance was assessed using hand held dynamometer and Fullerton Advanced Balance (FAB) scale respectively in 100 community-dwelling elderly females with age 60 years and above.
Results: Knee extensors correlated better with balance compare to other muscles and hip adductors weakly correlated with balance. Hence females with good knee extensor strength showed better balance.
Conclusion: Thus the lower extremity isometric muscle strength and balance performance have a positive correlation in community-dwelling elderly females.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to compare the values of ankle brachial index (ABI) measured by Doppler and by sphygmomanometer.
Method: Thirty people were assessed for the ABI measurement through Doppler method by one investigator and by sphygmomanometer method done by another investigator.
Results: The correlation between the ABI taken with sphygmomanometer and with Doppler was 0.745. The value suggests positive correlation between the two. But kappa score was 0.267 with p value 0.143 implied that ABI measurement with Doppler could not be replaced with measurement with help of sphygmomanometer.
Conclusion: Best method of measuring ABI is with Doppler. ABI Measurement with sphygmomanometer does not give good result as compared to Doppler.
