Purpose: To find out the effect of obstacle ambulation training on walking ability for ambulant strokesubjects.
<p>Methodology: This was an experimental study of 30 stroke patients having first ever unilateral stroke.
All the subjects were enrolled in identical subgroup and divided into two equal group one experimental
and another control group. Experimental group did balance training with obstacle ambulation training
and control group performed balance training.
We assessed the Dynamic balance with Dynamic Gait Index and walking endurance with Six Minute
Walk Test (6MWT) and tried to find out the additional effect of obstacle ambulation training on
walking ability for ambulant stroke subjects.</p>
<p>Results: Result shows that, both the group improved significantly but obstacle ambulation training
group improved much better than balance training group</p>
<p>Conclusions: Balance training with obstacle ambulation training is more effective as compare to the
balance training on walking ability for stroke patients.</p>

Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of Neuromuscular electrical stimulation combined with Cryotherapy on spasticity and hand function in patients with spastic Cerebral Palsy. Children with CP often demonstrate poor hand function due to spasticity in wrist and finger flexors.Methodology: This was an experimental study of 30 spastic CP patients aged 5-15 yr with mild to moderate spasticity. All the subjects were divided into two groups (A & B) with equal subject number in each group. Group A were treated with passive stretching, cryotherapy followed by Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) and Group B treated with passive stretching and cryotherapy, 3 times a week on alternate days for 6 weeks. Spasticity and hand function were assessed pretreatment and post treatment using the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS). We tried to find out the additional effect of NMES on spastic CP patients.
Results: Showed that both the group improved significantly but group A improved much better than group B.
Conclusions: This study suggests that NMES combined with cryotherapy is more effective as compared to cryotherapy alone in reducing spasticity and improving hand function in spastic CP patients.

Purpose: The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of task related circuit training on functional mobility and balance in children with spastic diplegic type of cerebral palsy.Methodology: This was an experimental study of 30 children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy having a GMFM level of I or II. All the subjects were enrolled in an identical subgroup and divided into two equal groups (15 patient in each group) one experimental and another control group. Experimental group did task oriented circuit training while control group performed conventional exercise program. We assessed the Functional mobility of lower extremity and balance of all patients by Timed Up and Go test and Pediatric balance scale respectively.
Results: Result shows that both the groups improved significantly but task oriented circuit training group improved more than the conventional training group.
Conclusions: This study suggests that task oriented circuit training is more effective as compared to the conventional training for the functional mobility and balance in spastic diplegic cerebral palsy children.

Purpose: The goal of this study is to find out the effect of task oriented training on hand functions in stroke patients.
Methodology: This was an experimental study of 30 stroke patients with unilateral involvement, with paresis of hand. All the subjects were enrolled in identical subgroup and divided into two equal groups (15 patient in each group) one control group (A) and another experimental group(B). Experimental group receive task oriented training and control group receive conventional physiotherapy training. We assessed the hand functions (Gross and Fine manual dexterity) by Box and Block test and Nine hole peg test respectively and tried to find out the additional effect of task oriented training on hand functions.
Results: Result shows that, both the group improved significantly but task oriented training group improved much better than conventional training group.
Conclusions: This study suggests that task oriented is more effective as compare to the conventional training for the hand functions in stroke patients.

IntroductionCerebral palsy is a static neurologic condition resulting from brain injury that occurs before cerebral development incomplete. Hand impairments are related to the manual ability. Hand impairments are not rare in the cerebral palsy but they are not considered significantly. We assessed the hand impairments in relation to manual ability amongst Cerebral palsy children who were spastic diplegics and quadriplegics.
Material and MethodsThirty cerebral palsy children were assessed. Hand impairments included grip strength, fine finger dexterity, gross manual dexterity and these were assessed by hydraulic hand handle dynamometer, pegboards and box and block test respectively. Manual ability was assessed by Abilhand kid’s questionnaire. All the subjects according to the inclusion criteria were included in the study. One time assessment was taken. For the grip strength and fine finger dexterity three readings were taken and average of these three readings was taken as the final score. For box and block test single reading was taken. Spasticity was assessed by the Modified Ashworth Scale. Results were calculated by using Pearson’s correlation.
ResultsThere is a significant correlation between grip strength, fine finger dexterity, gross manual dexterity and manual ability. Grip strength has correlation of -0.459(P=

Study Design: Pre test Post test Study Design
Objectives: To evaluate the effect of dual task training under fixed and variable priority instructions set in institutionalized elder adults with balance impairment.
Background: Previous trials have investigated the effect of dual task training in community dwelling elderly population. No clinical trial examining the effect of this type of training under fixed and variable priority instructions set in institutionalized elder adults with balance impairment has been reported in the literature.
Method: 30 Institutionalized elderly patients with balance impairment were assigned in to 2 groups. The group A received Dual Task Training with fixed priority Instruction set while group B received Dual Task Training with Variable priority Instruction set. Both groups received the selected treatment over a 4 week periods. Outcome measures were evaluated at baseline, 2nd week and 4th week.
Results: The study shows significant improvement in balance of the elderly population following dual task training under fixed and variable priority instruction set. But improvement is more marked under variable priority instruction set.
Conclusion: The research hypothesis which states that there will be more improvement in balance trained with variable priority instruction set than fixed priority in elderly population with balance impairment has been accepted.
