Pulmonary complication is the most common following heart surgery. Chest Physiotherapy plays a major role in preventing and correcting postoperative pulmonary complications. This case study describes the importance of having round the clock chest physiotherapy following post paediatric cardiac surgery.Keywords

Clinical Decision making makes an important part of neuro rehabilitation and requires cognitive and Meta cognitive skills of the therapist. Most of the time investigations may not correlate with the clinical findings. Appropriate selection of outcome measures also mandatory in designing the rehabilitation protocol.Keywords

Back ground
Anterior Cruciate ligament injuries are commonest among the soft tissue injuries around knee. Rehabilitation following ACL injuries always has been a challenging one for the physiotherapists. Literature reviews are considered as potential source of knowledge.
Methods & results
A structured review was conducted to find out the efficacy of various protocols of ACL injury rehabilitation in various electronic databases. Three reviews with different qualities were retrieved.
Conclusion
This paper gives an overview of three reviews about the Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury rehabilitation. This is strengthening the knowledge in ACL injury rehabilitation and guides towards the future research in ACL injury Rehabilitation.

Osteoarthritis is one of the commonest problem leads to severe impairments and disability. Physiotherapy plays a major role in the rehabilitation of patients with Osteo arthritis. In this current era of Evidence based practice it is important to have preset protocol to improve the effectiveness of the treatment. This article is a proposed protocol for the management of Osteoarthritis knee.Keywords
