Root-supported overdentures are an alternative to extractions and complete dentures. Chewing efficiency with a ischolar_main-supported overdenture is higher in patients who previously wore a complete denture. This increases in function, retention, and stability leads to better esthetics and phonetics in denture wearers, thereby elevating patient's self-esteem. This article demonstrates a technique of fabrication of ischolar_main supported overdenture, using Locator attachments (Zest Anchors, Inc.) to provide retention and stability and resistance to denture displacement. Locators can be used to attach to ischolar_mains with or without a coping in a direct or indirect technique. Retaining the existing teeth also preserves the alveolar bone and increases both proprioception and masticatory performance.Keywords

Background/Aim: Standing balance after the spinal cord injury is one of the major rehabilitation goals to improve the community participation. Measurement of realistic goal of standing balance requires the use of validated scales in population with spinal cord injury. The study aimed to identify and review the psychometric properties of outcome measures used to assess standing balance in spinal cord injury.
Method: Multiple databases were searched from the earliest records to March 2019. Reliability, validity and clinical utility of measures of standing balance were extracted.
Results: Seventeen outcome measures were identified and out of these only six measures- Smart Balance Master, Berg Balance Scale, Activity-Based Balance Level Evaluation (ABLE) scale,Mini BES Test, Functional Reach Test (FRT), and Community Balance & Mobility (CB & M) Scale are direct measurements of standing balance in SCI population with reported psychometric properties.
Conclusion: There is a need for reliable and valid tests to comprehensively assess standing ability in people with SCI, which encompass a range of tasks that have relevance to ADLs.

Background and Objectives: Cerebral palsy or CP is a non-progressive deficit of central nervous system. Spasticity is the most common muscle tonus problem. Most common spasticity assessment scales used for lower limbs in CP cases is Modified Ashworth Scale and Modified Tardieu Scale. The objective of the present study is to assess the better applicability of assessment of spasticity in lower limb muscles of hemiplegic and diplegic CP using Ashworth Scale (Modified) and Tardieu Scale (Modified).
Method: This study included 30 participants with 19 males and 11 females. The patients were assessed on Modified Ashworth Scale and Modified Tardieu Scale for lower limb muscles including Quadriceps, Hamstrings and Gastrocnemius. Observations assessed during the study were analyzed to find out the conclusion of the study and at the end results are compared.
Results: The current study showed statistical significance for Right Hamstrings (p ≤ 0.05) in both Modified Ashworth Scale and Modified Tardieu Scale. On contrary, right side Quadriceps and Gastrocnemius and left sided all group of muscles including Quadriceps, Hamstrings and Gastrocnemius (p ≥ 0.05) showed no statistical significance.
Discussion and Conclusion: No statistical significance was found in both Modified Ashworth Scale and Modified Tardieu Scale for Quadriceps, Hamstrings and gastrocnemius. But right-side hamstring showed significant difference between both the scales. So, either of the scales can be used to assess the spasticity in CP cases.
