We prospectively evaluated the usefulness of active learning to improve learning amongst undergraduate Physiotherapy students are involved in active learning by using projections, questioning, discussion, giving assignments, presenting carefully designed lectures and allowing breaks during the class. Students are encouraged to depict major Physiological events in form of charts and models. Group work, data collection and case studies are also included. One hundred first year BPT students are evaluated before and after involving them in active learning. Before study seventy nine students secured less than 50% of the total marks and none got 75% marks or above, and 17 students secured less than 50% of the total marks (P<.05) and one got 75% marks or above (P<.05) after the methodology is incorporated. Finally in first professional university examination, 04 students secured less than 50% of the total marks (P<.05) and 11 got 75% marks or above (P<.05). This showed significant improvement amongst the students after the methodology is incorporated and establishes a definite role of active learning in the medical subjects leading to over all better performance of students in examination(s).Keywords

A randomized controlled trial of 30 patients with hemiplegia was included in the study. Patient were divided in two groups A&B with 15 patients in each group. Repetitive weight bearing exercises (WBE) and conventional physiotherapy were given to each patient for 1 month. Their measurements were taken on 0, 7th, 15th, and 30th. Exercises were repeated 40 and 20 times in respective groups (A and B). All the parameters measured showed improvement on different days in each group. The group performing increase number of repetitions of weight -bearing exercise showed greatest improvement. Significant improvement was seen in patient performing more number of repetitions of weight -bearing exercises. Patients who have difficulty in forward step standing or doing WBE, less improvement were seen.Keywords
