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
