Background: A growing body of literature suggests that deficits in motor skill performance exist in the learning disabled population.10 Subjects: 30 learning disabled children, 30 normal childrenMethod: Gross motor skills of the learning disabled and normal children were assessed using Motor Skills Inventory. A comparison of the gross motor skills was done between the two groups.
Conclusion: The children with learning disability seem to have a delay in development and maturity of gross motor skills.

Background: This Clinical trial was carried out to compare the responsiveness of, Berg's Balance Scale(BBS) and Balance evaluation system test(BESTest) to change in balance following 4 weeks of conventional Balance and flexibility exercise training in Parkinson's patients.
Subjects: 30 Parkinson's patient
Method: 30 Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease patients were randomly selected and screened for inclusion criteria. Prior to intervention, BBS and BESTest was administered during the ON period of anti- Parkinson's medication. Patients were incorporated into conventional Balance and flexibility exercise programme during their ON period of medication for a duration of 4 weeks. The exercises were performed by the patient during ON period of anti-Parkinson's medication for 45 min to 1 hr/ day and for 6 days a week for duration of 4 week. At the end of 4th week of training again balance assessment was done using BBS and BESTest.
Result: Study showed a significant improvement in the Mean Total of both BBS and BESTest score post intervention.
Conclusion: The study concluded that, BBS and BESTest, both showed significant improvement in the balance of Parkinson's patients during their ON period of medication, but BESTest showed more responsiveness to change in balance than BBS. The study also concludes that conventional flexibility and balance training exercises improves balance in Parkinson's patients.
