Introduction: Adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder is a condition characterized by generalized pain and stiffness with progressive global restricted motion of the shoulder1. There are many variations of physical therapy protocol .Most of the protocols are extensive and do not suite the Indian scenario as most of the patients are not involved in active sports or high end activities. Furthermore, the compliance of the patient is not good and cost of physiotherapy is high. Hence, we decided to develop and validate a Shoulder Accelerated Rehabilitation Protocol (SHARP) for patients with frozen shoulder in our Indian scenario.Method and Material: Thirty six consecutive idiopathic frozen shoulder patients with a painful shoulder of more than 4 weeks and less than 6 months duration and with limitation of active and passive range of movement greater than 25% in abduction and external rotation compared with the other shoulder were selected and subjected to the SHARP protocol.
RESULTS: The mean constant shoulder score at the start of protocol was 26.69 (SD- 8.522), which improved to 98.58 (SD-2.892) at 15 months. Maximum patients reached a constant shoulder score of 100 at 15 months (22 patients). The mean VAS score for pain at the start of the protocol was 7.14 (SD-1.222) which improved to 0 at 18 months.
Conclusion: SHARP is a non-invasive, easy to follow and reproduce, home based exercise program effective in early improvement of pain and disability in patients with frozen shoulder

Introduction: Rehabilitation after surgery for an Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a lengthy process. Return to sports and other activities take months. There are many variations of ACL rehabilitation. Most of the protocols are extensive and do not suite the Indian scenario where the compliance of the patient and cost of physiotherapy are the major limiting factors. Hence, we decided to develop and validate a Simple and Effective Rehabilitation Programme (SERP) for patients undergoing ACL reconstruction in our scenario.Materials and methodology: Fifty patients with isolated ACL tear with or without partial menisectomy were selected for this systematic review from November 2010 to July 2012. All 50 patients underwent arthroscopic ipsilateral quadruple hamstring tendon reconstruction (semitendinosis and gracilis double folded) using endobutton (Smith and Nephew) for femoral fixation and bio absorbable interference screw for tibial graft fixation. They were subjected to SERP. SERP is a home based programme consisting of 5 phases spanning over 6 months. Test- retest was done using Modified Cincinnati Rating system Questionnaire on a prospective basis. The results were than analysed.
Results: Applying the Modified Cincinnati Rating System Questionnaire, results were tabulated. 84% of the patients had excellent results and 16 % had good results at the end of 3 months. At the end of 6 months, 94 % of patients had excellent results and 6% had good results. The result remained the same after 1 year of follow-up. There were no fair or poor results.
Conclusion: SERP is a home based programme which is understandable, convenient and reliable for patients who are undergoing arthroscopic ACL reconstruction; especially in our setting with excellent functional outcome.

Aim of the study is to find the effectiveness of Modified Trunk Dissociation Retrainer in improving trunk control in infantile hemiplegic subjects and objective is to determine trunk control following trunk dissociation retraining in infantile hemiplegic subjects. Sample size is 10 selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria with convenient sampling method from out-patient department of SMCH, Chennai. Study design: Quasi experimental study. Materials required: Modified Trunk Dissociation Retrainer. Outcome measures: trunk control measurement scale. A baseline measurement of trunk control is taken before intervention. Intervention was given by researcher for a duration of 3 weeks as 5 days/week. After the 3rd week of intervention first post-test was taken and second post-test in the 6th week. Analysis of post-test values showed that there was significant difference between pre-test and post-test values and also the results sustained from post-test I and post-test II values. Hence the conclusion the study was that the Modified Trunk Dissociation Retrainer is an effective tool to improve trunk control in subjects with infantile hemiplegia.Keywords

Background and Objectives: Inter-disciplinary collaboration between members of the health care team is an emerging importance in today’s context. It is therefore fundamental for health professional students to have a good understanding of the roles of health professions other than their own to achieve better outcomes in the delivery of health care when they begin to practice. The purposes of the study were: (1) to ascertain the level of awareness and knowledge of physiotherapy among medical and health sciences students and (2) to assess the need to emphasize inter-professional education in their curriculum. Methods: A total of 198 students from the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of UTAR Sungai Long Campus participated in the study. The method for sampling applied was non-probability sampling using convenient sampling technique. A pre-validated printed questionnaire was distributed to Medical, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Nursing students. Data collected were analyzed using frequency and percentage analysis. The statistical tests used in this study were Mann-Whitney U test and chi-square test. Results: 98.5% of the students reported that they knew what physiotherapy is. However, only 37.4% of the students had adequate awareness of physiotherapist work setting, and 4% had adequate awareness of sub-specialties in physiotherapy. A high number of students had inadequate knowledge on the cases seen by physiotherapists (87.9%) and the conditions treated by physiotherapists (90.9%). About 57.6% students had inadequate knowledge of the examination procedures conducted by physiotherapists, and 98% had inadequate knowledge of physiotherapy modalities. Conclusion: The study concluded that there is lack of awareness and knowledge of physiotherapy among medical and health sciences undergraduates. Appropriate strategies must be taken to enhance their knowledge about physiotherapy. This can be done through the emphasis of inter-professional education during their undergraduate program of study.Keywords

OA is a progressive degenerative disease that affects the joint cartilage, subchondral bone, and the synovial joint capsule. It has a multifactorial etiology and affects approximately 60% of individuals older than 50 years of age2. The knee is the most common weight-bearing joint affected by OA with the disease predominantly affecting the medial compartment of the tibiofemoral joint2. Patients with OA frequently report symptoms of knee pain and stiffness as well as difficulty with activities of daily living such as walking, stair climbing and housekeeping. Many forces acting in the knee joint cause biomechanical imbalance due to the joint loading which cause early degeneration of the joint which leads to OA knee18. The method of experimental study design was used, 30 OA knee patients aged between 40 and 60 were selected. Group A (n=15) receive both medial and lateral hamstring strengthening exercise and group B (n=9) receive only lateral hamstring strengthening. The outcome measures numeric pain rating scale (NPRS), WOMAC disability index scale, Q angle measurement with X-ray (Kelgren Lawrence method), maximum isometric voluntary contraction (MIVC) of pre and post measurements were done and statistical data was analysed. The study results states that there is a high significant difference in NRPS, WOMAC, Maximum Isometric Voluntary Contraction in group B compared with group A. The findings of the present study support the use of lateral hamstring strengthening exercise is effective in women with osteoarthritis kneeKeywords
