Background: Stroke is the 3rd leading cause of death and the most common cause of disability among adults. Nearly 1/3 of the total population suffering from stroke will have some residual upperextremity impairment which will cause a barrier in their daily functional activities, and hand is the most important part of upper extremity for functional activities. These functional activities are affected by many factors including coordination and weakness. Thus correlation between grip strength and coordination, with upper extremity functions is evaluated.Objective: To correlate grip strength and co-ordination with upper extremity functions in stroke patient.
Method: 100 patients were taken for the study where grip strength with hand held dynamometer, and coordination with SFNT (Standard Finger Nose Test) of affected extremity were checked at the time of discharge, and the functional outcome of the same was measured with ARAT 3 months after discharge. In between patient was given conventional physiotherapy treatment.
Results: Sample size of 100 patients was taken from which 30% were females and 70% were males. The mean and standard deviation of grip strength and ARAT were 7.00 ± 1.66, 28.68 ± 8.63 respectively. The Pearson's correlation coefficient was .78 which was statistically significant at P value
Conclusion: The study concluded that the grip strength and coordination are directly correlated with the upper extremity functions in stroke patient.

Background & purpose: Shoulder disorders are among the most common of all peripheral joint complaints1,2, with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome considered to be one of the most common forms of shoulder pathology3, accounting for 44% to 60% of all complaints of shoulder pain during arm elevation or overhead activities4. Researches for Subacromial Impingement Syndrome due to Scapular Dyskinesis show that scapular stabilization exercises provide good results39. On the other hand one of the study shows that effect of changing posture by taping will reduce the symptoms of Subacromial Impingement Syndrome41. So the study is to compare the effectiveness of Scapular Stabilization Exercises and Taping in improving shoulder pain & disability index in patients with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome due to Scapular Dyskinesis.Objective: To check the effect of Scapular Stabilization Exercises and Taping in improving shoulder pain & disability index in patients with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome due to Scapular dyskinesis.
Method: A total of 60 patients were taken for the study. All subjects were diagnosed with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome due to Scapular Dyskinesis. The purpose of the study was explained to all the subjects and informed consent was taken from each subject. All subjects were randomly assigned to either Scapular Stabilization Exercises group (Group A) and Taping group (Group B). The base line data of SPADI was obtained to check for the pain functional outcome. SPADI was later taken at the end of the treatment after 6 weeks on follow up.
Study design: Experimental design
Sampling technique: Purposive sampling technique
Outcome measure: Spadi Score Measurement
Result: Results show that Scapular Stabilization Exercises showed a significant improvement Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI sub scores and total scores), when compared to Taping in individuals with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome.
Conclusion: Scapular Stabilization Exercises showed a significant improvement Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI sub scores and total scores), when compared to Taping in individuals with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome.
